I have a 16 week old that for the past 3 weeks has been restless and walking several times a night and slamming his legs down repeatedly for 30/40 mins.
Any ideas if this is likely to be sleep regression? And if this leg slamming is a phase likely to reduce or not?
Thanks ☺️

It sounds like they’re waking due to changes in sleep cycle that cause the regression but leg slamming is a form of self soothing which is amazing so they’re having a go at putting themselves back to sleep which is a massive step to getting through the regression- it’s pretty boring to listen to but as they become more skilled in self settling it does get better!

Oh yes we have the leg slamming here too at 16 weeks!!

Had leg slamming for the first time last night after she woke up three times in two hours! She’s 16 weeks as well 😊

Same here! My little man was 16w on Friday! X
