Reasons why babies move their hands and feet

Sleep is important for both adults and children. Adequate sleep can restore the body's functions and help us stay awake, which helps to maintain good memory, judgment and mental state. For children, good sleep can help the development of intelligence and bones. Therefore, many parents who are concerned about their babies' restless sleep and restless hands and feet are very worried about whether it will affect their baby's growth and development. In fact, all these phenomena in babies are due to the incomplete development of the infant's nervous system, which leads to uncoordinated excitation and inhibition of the nerves and makes them easily excited. As the baby grows up, this physiological phenomenon will gradually disappear, so parents don’t need to worry too much. However, it may also be caused by calcium deficiency, so you should supplement with cod liver oil and calcium on a regular basis.

This kind of moving of hands and feet is the earliest physical activity of the baby, and can also be regarded as the first gymnastics. Activities are the result of the body's internal needs and external stimulation. As long as they are not restrained, children will move spontaneously. When we open the cradle, we can see that the newborn will stretch its body, stretch itself, raise its hands high, straighten its legs, and gradually kick rhythmically.

When a baby sees colorful toys or smiling faces, or hears pleasant songs, he will dance to express his excitement and joy. This kind of whole-body exercise not only develops the body's motor ability, exercises the joints and muscles of the limbs, and promotes metabolism, but also helps to improve mood and promote mental health development.

If your baby moves his hands and feet restlessly, you should first rule out calcium deficiency. Timely calcium supplementation can ensure bone growth. Communicate with your baby more often to increase your baby's sense of security. Do more abdominal and limb massage to soothe your baby's emotions, which helps relax muscles and increase resistance. Babies are gifts from God and need the careful care of their parents.
