Help!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what to do with Hollie at night now as she is being a complete pain.
I wrote a post recently about her crying in her sleep, and have also noticed that when she wakes at night she is screaming. Normally she used to whinge and cry a little if she wanted a feed at night. But recently she has just woke up and really screamed, i thought it was teething as it is quite high pitched.
However yesterday she woke crying at 10, so i went in to see what was the matter. She had tried to sit up in her sleep and had then fallen back asleep half hunched over and leaning against the bars. I laid her back down and put the mobile on, but she was too upset to fall back asleep so we got her up for a bit. When we settled her again she slept all night.
But now i know why she has been crying in her sleep. At night i dont put the lights on when she wakes, so i feel my way round the cot for her. The last few nights i have been feeling her and thought she has been far over to one side, and twisted. Now i realise why.
Does anyone know how i can stop her moving at night? Because this i think is what has been waking her, and it obviously hurts her because she has been screaming.

Hope you are well.
I have seen in jojomamambebe a support cusion that you lay you baby in and its meant to help them not to move about to much. It was a while ago, so I cant remember what age/weight it goes up to. I will have a look on their website .
Have you tried a sleeping bag? I found Charlottes movements were limited when she was in hers? That's the only thing I can think of.

Oh it only goes up to 6 months. Sorry
I think there is a similar one somewhere else. I'll keep looking.
Thanks Lucy for that, i havent heard of anything like that before so i will have a look around.
Zoe she is managing to do this in her grobag, i know she is getting a bit too big for hers now though. We bought one from ebay the other day, so i am waiting for it to be posted. I am hoping that when she is in a 6-12month one she will stop. But Ian seems to think it won't really make a difference and she is just too active.

Have pm'd you with another idea.
I know its not correct as per the guidelines for SIDS etc but at 6+ months the risk is not so high anyway.
I am sure Bronwyn does laps of her cot in the night! She too is in a sleeping bag which does nothing to stop her moving around.
She also cries at night, when she is going to sleep and she is usually 95% asleep but crying and moaning to herself. And she sometimes does this in the night too. I often go in to find her on her front with her sicky cloth which she uses as a comfort blanket stuffed in her face!!
She still refuses to have anything to do with a dummy!!! Which i suppose in a way is good!
Sally - I don't put Luka feet to foot either, I think its irrelevant as he's in a sleeping bag and no other covers. I put him at the top where his bumper is but he gradually works his way down then bangs his head on the bars where the bumper stops!!
