DD is 5 months, has never been a great sleeper. Until recently she was swaddled and woke frequently at night but usually settled quickly after a feed.
I've recently had to unswaddle her as she's started to roll. She now sleeps (in the Snuzpod) under a firmly tucked in blanket - couldn't take to a sleeping bag. However, her sleep has really deteriorated. She sleeps for a 2-3 hour stretch to start the night but then it's typically 45-50 minute stretches, taking ages to settle each time. I feed her most times she wakes (she's BF) and put her down nice and drowsy, but within a few minutes of being put down she's wide awake. Her hands seem to really distract her, especially if she puts them in her mouth and starts frantically sucking on them. I try lying with my arm over her chest to kind of pin her arms down loosely, but that just makes her frustrated. I try using a dummy but she just chews on it and spits it out, or knocks / takes it out with her hands. She's not distressed, though if I just leave her she does become increasingly upset. I usually end up letting her sleep on my chest, which helps her settle quicker but she often still wakes within the hour.
It's breaking me a bit now. It's like she just needs to learn to relax and keep still but I don't know how to teach her that. She's lovely in the day but I'm starting to really resent her at night and feel cross towards her. 😢 Am I doing something wrong?
