Worried
Hello everyone,
Since a few nights, my 6 weeks old baby started doing something weird.
She would be sleeping and suddenly open arms, shake them and start crying like and make a very scared face ... (Without external stimulus)
She settles when I put my hand on her, she will then fall asleep again and do it every 15- 20 mins. It happens especially at night time.
Does anyone's baby do this ??

This sounds like she’s startling herself which is pretty normal. Do you swaddle her at night? Securing her arms might help with this!
thanks for replying 🙏 I don't swaddle but I will definitely try it
Of course!! I know you didn’t ask but my babies favorite swaddle is the love to dream swaddle, it keeps their arms in an upward position but every baby is different so you might need to experiment! I hope this helps your baby! 🩷
that's the exact one I bought, I've just put her in it now. Never used it before, let's see how it goes ! Thanks a lot
