Twitching, restlessness and crying
Our LO used to sleep through the night and I would dream feed him his 12am, 3am and 6am feed. He would go to sleep after him 9pm feed and wake up around 6:30-7am for the day.
I dont know if its related but since he had his vaccinations 3 weeks ago everything has changed. At night he twitches and shuffles his head left to right, wakes up and starts crying. We pick him up rock him back to sleep which only takes a minute and hes back in his rocker/cot. Then it happens again after 5-10 minutes. This has been going on all night for 3 weeks and were all so massively sleep deprived :(
Last night when it happened again I put him in bed with me. I had my arm under him as a pillow and I held him close to me from his legs/hips. I could feel all the twitching but in my grip he didnt wake up crying as much. As soon as I'd fall asleep and my grip would loosen he would start crying. This went on all night :(
I have no idea whats going on and whats caused LO night scheduled to become so messed up and he has a fantastic eat, play sleep routine during the day. Now that the maid is here theres no faffing around with mummy and her bad back trying to rock him asleep. The maid gets him asleep as soon as hes tired which is great.
Does anyone have any information or experience of what could be causing this all of a sudden?
I would really appreciate some help as I'm not sure how much loss of sleep me and DH will be able to handle.
EDIT TO ADD: He was struggling with some eczema on his shoulders and back which thought was the cause for him being like this. But now its totally cleared up and this is still going on.
