Hi all,

My gorgeous (cough cough) DS has been waking up lately at around 3am and is a bugger to get back to sleep - usually takes about an hour. DH takes the first half, and I do the second (not easy to lean over a cot with a big belly though!!)
This morning whilst I had my hand on his back (patting distracts him and he starts patting the mattress with his own hand) I thought he was just about to drift off, and his leg sorta twitched and he opened his eyes again. So I had a thought.. maybe he is getting leg cramps/restless legs because he has just started to walk so maybe his muscles are a bit sore?? I know my legs play up more of a night time - and if I'm cold they ache (even when not pregnant). So maybe its something along those lines and it wakes him up so much that he can't get back to sleep?
I gave him a bit of a leg rub and he slept until 6.15 which is his normalish time to get up anyways.
What does everyone think? Or is it just a nearly-16 month old normal behaviour?
