Why is my baby doing this?

Could be he is trying to keep moving so he will stay awake. My youngest granddaughter will do that. I could always tell when she wss about to fall asleep because she would start moving around alot. They are trying to stay awake because they are very interested in everything going on around them and dont want to miss anything.

It seems to be his comfort way of falling asleep. He will soon develop a steady sleeping pattern. I am not sure why he is doing it this way but he is fine. Babies at five months get more and more active and tend to want to sleep a bit less. It gets better and soon you can return to a normal sleeping pattern also.

Yes My son did that as well, and yes it does stop. That is how they loose there hair in the back and sides then it all come's back. I was so glad when my son started sleeping right away. I used to get up and make sure he was still breathing as he wasn't crying anymore. So yeah when he does stop then you will start getting up to see if he is OK. But don't get caught by him then it starts all over again. That happened to my friend. You have a greatnight

Your baby has learned a new position and he's enjoying it that's why he keeps on doing it. As baby grows, he continuously learns new positions and he shows it to everybody. He could have seen it somewhere, you know babies imitate what they see. Let him and he will stop and fall asleep when he's tired.

all the children have's energy that run in them....Well all of us have been a chield and know how it is.I ideea should be that you should make him moves more the day.Try to tire him and night will sleep very fast;)
