Reasons why newborn babies suddenly shake when sleeping

Everyone loves newborn babies, and we should also pay attention to the children's physical immunity. Many parents may be unfamiliar with taking care of children, and are at a loss when encountering some phenomena. Careful mothers will observe that newborn babies suddenly shake while sleeping, and there is no regular time. So what is the situation with this phenomenon!

Newborns are like this. There is very little space in the mother's belly, and there is no place to move. After birth, when they move, they find that they can't reach anywhere. They get scared. This is the most typical symptom of newborns. Moreover, if the newborn is not extremely malnourished in the mother's belly, there is no temporary lack of any vitamins and minerals.

The symptoms you mentioned are called neonatal startle in medicine. Every child has them. Some are mild, some are severe. They will get better with time.

See if he sometimes gets startled (his hands suddenly shake) and then wakes up. If so, it would be best to tie his hands and feet lightly with small straps like the older generation did in the past, so that the child can fall asleep easily. Because sometimes some sounds that we adults think are not very harmful can have a big impact on babies. Sometimes they may be frightened by just a slight cough because they are too young and too sensitive.

If you are breastfeeding, this may be due to calcium deficiency.

The newborn baby we mentioned above suddenly shakes while sleeping, which is what we often call convulsion. This is just a sudden shake during sleep. Not only babies will have this, but adults will also have this. The mother will mistakenly think that it is still a nightmare. In fact, such a young child will not have nightmares.
