Newborn squirming/wiggling in his sleep?

Erin

My 7 week old is such a crazy sleeper. I'm not sure what's going through his little head but he will kick and throw his arms all over the place, smash and rub his head into my chest, arch and wiggle his back, etc. It's not his startle reflex but something else and often wakes him up if he's not in a deep sleep. Perhaps it's just him dreaming? or gas? I'm hoping it's something he just grows out of.
