Blake has had problems settling and staying asleep. He still doesn't sleep through the night, waking for either a feed or two, or his dummy.

That however is not today's issue.

I'm finding now that whever he goes to bed - unless he's fallen asleep at the bb - he will lie there kicking at his blankets unless they are firmly tucked in, and ususally wedged into place with a rolled up nappy or two each side of his cot.

Even with him firmly tucked in, he will attempt to kick his way out. I don't really want to 'straight jacket' him into bed so he can't move however he will not let himself relax enough to fall asleep by himself.

I've tried comforting him in my arms, quietly in his room until he's really relaxed and 'ready for sleep' however as soon as I put him down he starts kicking before I even get to tuck his in. I've also tried not tucking him in at all, dressing him warm enough and having no sheet/blanket on his bed - again not successful.

Please help with ideas for settling him so he's not playing for hours, nor kicking for hours!
