7.5 month old tossing and turning

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hey fellow cosleeping mamas

My DD and I cosleep and I love being close to her at night for the most part. She nurses on and off but I don't fully awaken and neither does she. TBH, I don't even know how often she wakes up and if she actually eats or sucks on me. She used to suck on me ALL NIGHT LONG, but she's slowly stopped that so I get breaks... which is great.

But, now, she's started this new thing where, around 3-4 AM, she begins tossing and turning. I would ignore it except it ends up in a whimper/cry. It's like she can't control it. She'll be lying down and then all of a sudden jerk her body, pull up her legs, reach out her arms, and toss and turn. I'll offer the boob... she'll take it for a minute and then begin tossing and turning again. She is not yet crawling, but I think she wants to start soon. Could that have anything to do with it?

Oh totally. Our DD started kind of creeping (at 8months) and went from being such a calm sleeper to rolling and rolling and flailing and flailing and occasionally yelling out...then poof, she started crawling a week or 2 later. She's still very mobile in bed but a little less so lately (she's 9months now).
