What to do if your newborn moves his hands and feet while sleeping

When a baby is just born, his body is easily affected by the outside world. At this time, mothers should pay attention. If the baby has any abnormal physical condition, he should be sent to the hospital for examination in time to see the specific cause of the baby. This will also help the baby's physical problems. What should we do if the newborn's hands and feet move around when sleeping? There are some good solutions, which are introduced in detail below.

What to do if your newborn moves his hands and feet while sleeping:

Children generally have restless sleep and wake up at the slightest noise. If children feel supported while sleeping, the number of times they wake up can be reduced.

Cutting your child's nails in time is an effective way to prevent babies from scratching their faces.

When all babies are born, their calves have an inward curve, which looks a bit like the O-shaped legs caused by rickets. In fact, the O-shaped legs we see at this time are temporary and will disappear naturally without any human intervention. The O-shaped legs formed by pathological calf bending are mostly caused by vitamin D deficiency rickets and can only be seen after the child starts walking and bears weight on the lower limbs.

In order to ensure that every baby receives scientific upbringing after birth, we appeal to young parents and the babies' grandparents not to restrain the babies' limbs and hands and feet under any circumstances. We should also give the babies passive exercises regularly while ensuring their freedom of movement to increase their activity level. This will ensure that the babies develop healthier and smarter.

Why don't newborns sleep?

Find out whether the child's sleep disturbance occurs during the day or at night. Some newborns sleep well during the day, but start crying at night. If this is the case, you can let your child sleep less during the day to make him tired, so that he will naturally sleep better at night.

Secondly, we need to carefully analyze the causes of sleep disturbance. After analyzing the causes, we need to take corresponding treatment measures. Pay attention to whether the indoor temperature is too high and whether the child is wrapped too much. The child may sleep uneasily due to being too hot. At this time, there may be beads of sweat on the tip of the child's nose, and the body will feel damp to the touch. You need to lower the room temperature, reduce or loosen the blankets, and the child will feel comfortable and fall asleep naturally. If you touch your child's feet and they are cold, it means that the child is not sleeping well because he is not kept warm enough. You can cover him with a quilt or use a warm water bag outside the quilt to keep him warm. If the diaper is wet due to defecation or urination, the child will feel uncomfortable and cannot sleep well, so the diaper should be changed in time. If breast milk is insufficient and the baby is not full, it will affect his sleep. Therefore, the baby needs to be fed frequently to promote milk secretion and make the baby full.

Finally, if the disease is suspected and early diagnosis and treatment are not present, and the above conditions do not exist, and the mother has insufficient vitamin D and calcium intake during pregnancy, the newborn may have hypocalcemia. The early stages of the disease also manifest as restless sleep. Under the guidance of a doctor, the child should be supplemented with vitamin D and calcium gluconate to correct this. If in addition to sleep disturbances, the baby also has other symptoms such as fever and refusal to eat, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment by a doctor. (1) If the baby is healthy, is the day and night reversed? Some babies sleep too much during the day and do not sleep at night. They are very energetic and will cry incessantly unless adults coax them or hold them. If this is the case, adults should play with the baby more during the day so that he can gradually form a good habit of being awake during the day and sleeping at night.

After knowing what to do if a newborn baby moves his hands and feet while sleeping, you can follow the above methods to improve the baby's situation. However, when the baby has a fever, mothers cannot choose some medicines at will, otherwise it will cause harm to the baby's body, especially for newborn babies. Medicines should not be used at will.
