My hands shake when my baby cries

Babies will cry when they are young, whether they are feeling uncomfortable or unhappy. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the baby cries, parents should stay with the child, comfort the child in time, and let the baby calm down as soon as possible. However, some parents find that their hands shake when their babies cry. So, why does the baby’s hands shake when he cries?

The baby's nervous system is not fully developed, so the limbs will tremble. If it happens occasionally, it is normal. In addition, the baby's calcium deficiency will increase the frequency of limb tremors. Other reasons: Like adults, babies have a thin layer of muscle called "diaphragm" between the chest and abdomen, which separates the chest and abdomen and plays a role in separating and protecting the chest.

Many newborns always cry when they sleep. At this time, parents have to try every possible way to make the baby fall asleep, such as feeding, coaxing, or carrying the baby in their arms. They really rack their brains to think of every possible way.

However, when babies are used to sleeping with milk, being held and coaxed to sleep will undoubtedly add extra burden to new parents. So how can we make every newborn an angel baby?

First of all, we need to understand the environment of a newborn in the mother's womb before birth. The mother's uterus provides a very safe environment for the fetus, as it contains warm amniotic fluid and has a strong wrapping property. In late pregnancy, the fetus cannot stretch freely in the mother's body. After birth, the newborn suddenly changes to a new environment, which is a huge difference. This makes the newborn feel very anxious, especially when sleeping, when they are separated from their parents' arms. The only way for babies to express their anxiety is to cry loudly.

Now that we understand why babies cry, how can we help them sleep well? The answer is to imitate the environment in the mother's womb - a baby swaddle.

Swaddling that mimics the environment of the mother's womb

The swaddling cloth has extremely strong wrapping properties and can simulate the environment in the mother's womb to the greatest extent, prevent the baby's startle reflex, and provide the newborn with a sense of security. However, when using a swaddling cloth, you should pay attention to "tight on top and loose on the bottom": that is, the upper part of the swaddling cloth can be wrapped slightly tighter, and the lower part should be looser to prevent it from being too tight and causing poor blood circulation in the baby's lower body. Another thing is to make sure there are no foreign objects in the baby's mouth and nose to avoid obstructing the baby's breathing.
