Squirming alllllll night!

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but when does this intense squirming at night stop??
My boy is 10 weeks and he's always been a bit of an active sleeper but the last week it has really ramped up!
He squirms and flails around all night. Alllll night. He doesn't seem bothered by it aside from the fact it interrupts his sleep (and mine 🥴)
We've tried all kinds of swaddle and he seems to fight it more.
Basically please just tell me this eases up eventually because I am wiped out 😂

We have a squirmy baby! But he reacted well to a Swaddle 😕 when he looked like he was starting to roll, at about 4.5 months, we stopped the Swaddle, but he would fling his arms out in his (wooden!!) crib waking himself up. We ended up moving him into his own room and a bigger crib at that point...

I'm in my sixties and am reliably informed that I still thrash around slot in my sleep.

Doesn't impact me at all, so long as the bed is big enough to accommodate my movement.

Why try and restrict your baby?
