Why does my baby move around when sleeping?

Babies should be relatively comfortable when they sleep. If the external environment is more comfortable, they will sleep more comfortably. However, some babies always move around when they sleep. Is it because they are feeling uncomfortable? Let’s find out why babies move around when they sleep.

1. Eczema

Eczema is a common skin disease among infants. Almost 80 percent of babies will have varying degrees of eczema after birth. Eczema is quite itchy. Babies are young and cannot express their feelings in words, so they will naturally choose body language to tell their mothers that they are uncomfortable. One of them is the baby shaking his head while sleeping. If mothers find that the eczema problem exists, they must relieve it in time, so that the baby can sleep well.

2. Calcium deficiency

If the baby's growth rate is too fast, it will cause temporary calcium deficiency in the baby. Generally, babies with calcium deficiency will have the following reactions: shaking head, rubbing pillow, slouching, rib eversion, crying at night, restless sleep, etc. Calcium deficiency seriously affects the baby's growth and development, so mothers must give their babies regular physical examinations, especially trace element checks, once every 3 months is best. Calcium deficiency can cause the baby's scalp to become itchy, and the baby will then rub his head and pillow, accompanied by night sweats.

3. Scalp itching

The baby's hair has not been washed for a long time, so the skin on his head becomes itchy. The baby, who cannot speak yet, has to tell his mother by shaking his head in his sleep.

The above are the reasons why babies move around when they sleep. There are mainly three reasons. When your baby has such a condition, you can also look for the reasons above for the sake of your baby's health. Parents observing their baby's abnormal conditions is the basis for discovering diseases as early as possible.
