Our little boy is around 3 months now, and we've always swaddled him at night as he keeps "startling" and waking himself up and then needing to cry for 10 minutes to put himself back to sleep. Now that he's getting older though, he's able to wriggle out of the swaddle, and subsequently wakes himself up and cries. Can anyone suggest ways to cope with his overactive startle reflex at night?
