A member asked:

My 4 month old is kicking and punching in his sleep. sometimes it wakes him because he ends up punching himself. why is this happening and what can i do since he hates being swaddled?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ignore it: Kids should never be swaddled any longer than it takes for them to be comfortable without. The random muscle movements are natural & important for their motor development. Kids are free to nap & sleep up to their level of need. I do not consider this an issue. If you think there is something wrong have his doc look him over.
