It was a shock when my second child was such a restless sleeper after my first child being such a good sleeper. So I do understand your anxiety and tiredness. Some suggestions: - Try, if your baby is still small enough, to make up the cot sideways so that the baby lies sideways and does not have so much room to maneuver. - Using blackout curtains, even during day time naps, will mean that if your child does wake he quickly falls back to sleep. - Padded cot bumpers ensure that he cannot get his arms through the bars and get stuck. But do take care that these have Velcro fasteners rather than tapes which can get tangled up in a child's fingers. Sooner than you think he will be growing and his sleeping patterns will change. Don't get into the trap of going in every time and chatting with your baby. Just, silently, wrap him up again and shut the door and go to sleep.
