Whenever I put Lilia down on her back whether its in her moses basket/cot or on a playmat etc she throws her arms in the air and jumps as if she feels like she is falling and then screams! You can see the fear and panic all over her face and she gets so distressed. Sometimes it takes nearly 10mins to calm her down
Have spoken to HV about it and she suggested swaddling which sort of solves the problem at naptime but when changing her or when she's playing its just not practical to swaddle her (obviously)
She's always been this way but since she has gotten bigger its getting worse and its a nightmare to try and change her cos the slightest movement triggers it. I've started making OH hold her hands when I change her if he's around so that she doesn't panic so much
Has anyone else been through this? Any suggestions that I can try?
