Have you done the usual?
Room temperature - too cold/too hot.
Nappy - too tight?
Farts/wind - is the child particularly windy?
Matress - comfortable?
Night light? Is the darkness upsetting child

I don't think children being restless in sleep is that uncommon and I wouldn't worry massively if I was sure that everything was tickety boo and child was not actually waking up. I'm naturally very fidgety (and indeed, 'chatty') in my sleep and I'm 35!

We've recently come on holiday to Australia.. So I'm sure it's the jet lag part of it.. X
It's just a phase, either growth is making them uncomfortable or mental development is unsettling them, or teeth. Could be any number of things, but rest assured that it is just a phase. My daughter has just come out of the other side of this waking at night phase. After several weeks she's night sleeping like a dream again. Try a drop of calpol to see if it helps.

Remember though.... All the bad times are just phases....... Equally, when it's going good, that's just a phase as well!
Ignore everything I just said, somehow I missed the jetlag bit..... It's that!
