My 9 week LO has been displaying strange behaviour for the past few nights in a week. She used to be able to go for DF, NFs 3am or 1am & 5am till 7am.
Now from 4am -7am she seems to be in light sleep, especially from 5am onwards she flails her arms (escapes from swaddle), grunts, kicks her legs and try to suck fists/scratches face and shaking head with eyes closed. I think she is trying to get back to sleep so I re swaddle but doesn't seem to work. I unswwaddle she seems happier and all is peaceful for 2 minutes before she starts again.
After 15 minutes she gets frustrated and wakes up. She won't take a full feeding either. So I gather she is not hungry?
Is she learning to self soothe? I put the pacifier back but she just spits it out or screams further.
Help! Is it a developmental blip?
My EASY in the day is already haywire with lots of short naps.
