| Its kind of hard to explain. My baby sleeps from between 7 & 8 pm - 1 or 2 am. But while he's sleeping he's moving around a lot in is sleep like he's trying to crawl or maybe even turn over. Its hard for me to sleep b/c I keep thinking he's going to get up so what I end up doing is bringing him in the bed with me instead of running back and forth between my room and his. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this something that I shoud be worried about? |

| it sounds like he is dreaming. I had read (I can't remember where) that even the youngest babies dream. If he has been learning to roll over and/or crawl it is very possible he is dreaming about doing it. Is he letting out any cries? he could also be gassy and moving around to feel better. Can you put a pack n play or something in your room where he can sleep? This way you can get some rest and he will be close by. |

Hi Eva,
My 9 month old sleeps like this ALL THE TIME... Naps, at night, all the time.... sometimes he wakes himself up because he gets startled or hits the side of the crib, or if it's gas I give him gas relief drops. He was in a co-sleeper bassinette next to our bed for 6 months and finally I couldn't take it anymore because he made so much noise, like yours. I started putting him in his crib in his room across the hall and then couldn't even sleep with the monitor on so now I just wait to hear him cry before I get up and get him (and take him into bed with me to nurse him and he stays in the bed with me until we wake up- but he is so active in his sleep there, too, that I barely sleep). I don't think that it will ever stop, honestly. He's been like this since he was able to move on his own and I think it is gas and/or dreaming like Jackie said. Is he just starting to move around, crawl, etc? They seem to have a hard time sleeping when they hit milestones like that, too, because they are so determined to get it down that it is all they think about.... Don't be worried. You may want to try moving him out of your room though so that you can get some sleep :) Good luck! |

hey Eva,
My son is 3 months old and has slept through the night every night since he got moved from his bassinet to his crib (I know I'm lucky lol). It sounds like your baby is just a restless sleeper and that is why he moves around so much. As long as he isn't crying, then he's probably okay. I think that being in his own room would make it easier for both of you to get rested without hearing the other's noises all night and you wouldn't have to worry about getting him hooked on wanting/needing to sleep in your bed. Also, have you thought about changing his schedule during the day so that he goes to sleep later? 7PM - 2AM is 7 hours, so if you want him to sleep later into the morning he should go to bed later. What time do you usually go to bed. I put my baby to bed between 9:30 and 10 because I usually go to bed around 11. He sleeps until 7AM, which is when we wake up with my boyfriend before he goes to work. All babies are different though, it may be a while before he gets on a good sleep schedule no matter what you try. |

| Thanks Ladies. My husband & mom told me to keep Jacob in his room so that he doesn't get used to being in bed with us and that if he isn't crying don't worry. Which he is not crying, just moving around an awful lot. He's starting the first steps of rolling over and doing the little swimming like motions when he's on his belly during the day. Ok, I feel better now that I'm not the only one going through it :) |
