Slamming legs on mattress??

Question

My son is 17 wks and he used to sleep like a perfect little angel from 830-530.But lately he sleeps well from 830-130 but then he starts to kick his legs and slam them onto the mattress. He doesn't always wake up when it happens...but I do 😑 bc it's loud.
Anyone else's LO do this? Any tips or advice?

Answer

Mine also does this and ends up going around in circles in his bed. It’s gas related for him. I’ve been using probiotics since he was 3 weeks.

Answer

Our 17 week son does this during REM sleep, and when he’s upset that we are laying him down

Answer

Omg yes!! My daughter does the same thing! It’s so loud 😂 she like lifts her legs as high as she can and then drops them on to the mattress!! I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it. She does it no matter what I put her in to sleep also, footed jammies, sleep sack, whatever. lol.

Answer

My 16 week old does this too! Watching him on the monitor is so frustrating. I’m newly noticing it because he is just now in his crib from the rock and play. It coincides with his startle reflex which now happens every time he enters into a different sleep phase. Generally wakes mine every 2 hours 🙄.

Answer

Mine does this when he has gas it usually help him get it out if he’s got a belly ache
