Wriggling with eyes shut - asleep?

[cath~]

When I put H down for a nap or at BT she spends a Loooong time wriggling around a lot with some snuffling before she is calm and still.  I *think* she is asleep then (ie whilst wriggling) but it is hard to know for sure at first.

I usually (esp for naps) have my hand resting on her legs while she wriggles and she def notices if I pick it up.  But maybe she s just in a really light sleep phase then

Does anyone else's lo wriggle around so much? And when do you count the start of S time from?

DS does this at night, every time he is put down after a feed. For about an hour. Naps are wriggle-snuffle-grunt free.

Oh yes. Medi wiggles too.

Thanks ladies

Sarah - do you notice any correlation between how wriggly she is and how tired she is? Eg ut = more wriggly? I am beginning to have a suspicion that I need to increase H's A time. Just did a little test and it seems (touch wood) so far to be working quite well.  Naps, even apop naps, have been getting much trickier the last week or so and I think it was because she needed an A time increase.

The wriggliness may of course be a red herring in all this though..

Yes, sometimes. If she's very tired, she just collapses into sleep and doesn't move the whole nap time. But if she is awake chatting for a while first she wiggles a lot more. And if she's fighting sleep, she is like a hurricane!
