Why is my baby’s hands shaking? These may be the reasons!

Many parents will find that their babies have hand tremors. For example, when the baby is sleeping soundly, the little hands will tremble quickly and irregularly. Some young parents will be very panicked when they see this phenomenon, fearing that there is something abnormal with the baby. In fact, very young babies are still in an important stage of physical development, and many body functions are not perfect. It is normal to have hand tremors at this time. At this time, you only need to closely observe the baby for other abnormal symptoms. If everything else is normal, the hand tremor problem will gradually disappear as the baby grows older, so don't worry too much.

First, what causes children's hand tremors?

Hand tremors are divided into physiological tremors and pathological tremors.

Physiological hand tremors have small amplitudes and fast speeds, and often occur when the hand is stationary. They are small, fast, and irregular tremors. Physiological hand tremors often occur when one is nervous, fearful, etc. Hand tremors occur when you are emotionally excited, in severe pain, or extremely tired. Once the above causes of hand tremors are eliminated, the hand tremors will disappear.

Pathological hand tremor, medically known as "tremor", refers to the involuntary shaking of the hands, which is often permanent. There are two main types of hand tremors: static hand tremors and dynamic hand tremors. Among them, static hand tremor is the hand tremor that occurs when the muscles are completely relaxed, that is, in a quiet state. This type of hand tremor disappears during sleep, with a frequency of 4-6 times per second and a relatively regular pattern. It is a typical disease such as Parkinson's syndrome.

Sports tremor is a tremor that only occurs during exercise, and the tremor becomes more severe when the movement approaches the target. For example, when a doctor performs the finger-to-nose test on a patient, he asks the patient to straighten his forearm and then point his index finger at the tip of his nose. The closer the tip of the index finger is to the tip of the nose, the more obvious the hand tremor will be. Motor tremors are irregular, with large amplitudes, and are aggravated by emotions. They are common in lesions of the cranial nerves and upper limb nerves.

Second, what is the cause of baby hand shaking?

It is necessary to look specifically at the manifestations of the so-called shaking of the child, and to rule out the possibility of convulsions or other abnormalities based on the amplitude and frequency of the shaking. If there are obvious rhythmic twitches or shaking, you must seek medical attention or record the child's performance yourself and ask the doctor to confirm. If convulsions can be ruled out, it is considered to be related to the child's incomplete brain development.

Third, why is the baby’s hands shaking?

This may be because the baby’s nervous system has not yet developed well, or it may be related to the baby’s lack of VD.

Guidance:

It is recommended to supplement cod liver oil to promote calcium absorption, thereby improving the symptoms of hand tremors, and pay attention to keeping warm and not catching cold.
