Is it OK that he moves around a lot in his sleep?
Movement during sleep is quite normal for infants. In fact, infants have very active sleep. You might see an infant cooing, moaning, or smiling just as you might hear a toddler mumbling in his sleep. If you think that the movement is excessive, there tends to be more movement in arms and/or legs, or if the movement is rhythmic, this might be a sign of a medical issue. In this case, consult with your pediatrician or sleep medicine physician to help decide if further treatment is necessary.
