Hi everyone, so my 5mo is a catnapper during the day and at night, wakes up every 1/2 hours wriggling, grunting, arching and bringing legs up. I've tried to ignore him but eventually he cries out and wakes himself up.
What I can't tell is whether this is active sleep or wind/reflux? If you pick him up, he will continue to wriggle for a minute or two before falling asleep (sometimes will fart sometimes not). If held, can sleep the whole night without wriggling. If put back in his cot, will sleep for an hour or less before waking up again. We've switched to comfort milk and give probiotics and gripe water incase it's trapped wind and tried using a dummy, but nothing is really working.
What do I do? I've seen lots of similar posts but they're usually for younger babies who grow out of this but mine just turned 5 months and has been doing this since a newborn...
