Quite possibly the stupidest question of the year LOL but Ava slept in her sleep sack for the first time last night (she is usually wrapped) and she went NUTS! Lifting her legs RIGHT UP then SLAMMING them down - arms flailing everywhere. Is that normal? Its like she was out of control. 
I was up from 1am dealing with her

Natalie used to get all excited and jumpy when she was in her cot not wrapped, which meant we had to slowly transition out of wrapping and combine with the sleeping bag. (but she was happy moving around)
was Ava upset? sometimes Natalie bangs her legs away on the matress during the night, but she settles herself down again, and seems happy enough. good luck for tonight! (if it's any consolation, we were up with Natalie for most of the night too, but for different reasons...  )-------------

Was she crying or just kicking and stuff?
Caden started doing this once we stopped swaddling him, I think he liked the freedom lol. Now he just kicks off his blankets and rolls round the cot and thumps his legs on the bars until he falls asleep lol He isnt in the sleep sack at the moment cos its way to hot. ------------- |

The crying was probably un related to her banging her legs round and stuff. But yep she is very normal  I reckon they just like the freedom.------------- |

Yup Joel does it contantly. He is in a bag and has a safety sleep and still does it, normally squealing and laughing as well. -------------

Callum lifts his legs up and down even when he's swaddled He's constantly trying to escape!
Ava sounds normal to me though And I'll join the up-all-night club too ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

Ugh. it is so frustrating because she knocks her dummy out.
She sometimes DELIBERATELY takes it out and then realises she cant put it back in! GRR! and yesterday during her nap time i caught her shoving her dummy in her gloworms face! LOL

Argh Callum does that too - pulls his dummy out then realises it's gone Luckily he doesn't need it once he's asleep but it sure is a pain putting it back in to get him to drift off (emergency measure only at the mo, I don't have the patience to give it to him at every nap/sleep time!) ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |
