Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. it is important to rule out any type of discomfort the child is experiencing.
sometimes it can be due to colic pain / digestive issues as well as due to some irritability or some discomfort in the mattress on which the child is sleeping which has to be taken care of.
for small children you can use a swing as well as do swaddle as well as take a walk or you can take the child in the car which will help in improving the sleep of the child
you have to also rule out hunger which msight be causing sleep discomfort.
also rule out teesthing pain which might be causing sleep disturbance.
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. As for why it happens during naps and at night, it's often pretty similar to why adults change positions while sleeping, too — to get comfortable. After your baby falls asleep they may still find themselves rolling around and waking up because they're in an uncomfortable position.
