7 weeks old pushes me away during sleep

Hi everyone,

My 7-week-old keeps waking every 45–60 min in the bassinet (about every 2h when co-sleeping).

He squirms, pushes me away with his hands and legs, scratches his face, makes a lot of noise, but keeps his eyes closed

He often refuses the breast when this happens, so I don’t think he’s hungry.

If I wait, sometimes he settles… but often it escalates and he fully wakes and cry.

I’m confused, is this active sleep or real wake-ups?

Is this normal at 6–8 weeks?
