For about 2 months my 6 month old wakes in the night and slams her legs on her mattress repeatedly. She only does it in the middle of the night but it can go on for 20-30 mins or until I intervene. She isn’t crying at this time just slamming her legs. Since she’s in a sac it’s both legs together like a fish and it’s so loud.
Does anyone else have a baby that does this. And why do they do this?

My almost 7 month old does the same thing and she actually wakes herself up. I have no idea why.

It’s a self-soothing thing. It’s not uncommon

My baby does this too! I took her out of her sleep sack and now she does it less but I’m not sure if the sleep sack was the reason for her doing it in the first place
