I'm hoping some of you have some advice for me -- I'm a first time Mom and can use some help.
My son is 3 months old and over the last week or so he's started to cry out in his sleep (usually during nap time, not at night). He's nonstop sucking his fingers, but even with his fingers in his mouth he stays asleep and continues to cry. When I gently move his fingers away and give him his pacifier, he sucks contentedly and settles into sleep. Within 15-30 minutes he'll start the routine over again.
Any suggestions? Is he having nightmares / bad dreams? How can I give him a gift of comfortable naps?
Thanks in advance,
Audra
