Many mothers find that their babies sleep with rich expressions, pie their mouths, frown, or whine, or even waving small fists. The older generation will generally say that this is the dream mother-in-law teaching them to learn. Young mothers sometimes worry, will such a small child dream? Or is there a problem with the baby’s sleep?
Most of this phenomenon is normal and there is no need to worry about it. Why does the baby do this?
A common reason is that the baby’s nervous system is not fully developed. These actions are unconscious and meaningless.
Another reason may be that the baby is awake at this time, and the sleep cycle of the baby is relatively short. When it seems that the baby is not awake, the baby may move his eyes a few times and turn over, but he can fall asleep again soon and enter the next sleep cycle. Parents should not disturb the baby at this time.
Of course, babies can also dream when they have various expressions. Although they are small, they have already started dreaming when they are in their mother’s belly.
However, parents should pay attention: if the baby sleeps frequently and tosses and turns, it is completely different from usual; Or very loud crying, lasting for a long time. There may be a problem.
First of all, parents should judge whether the baby’s sleeping environment is comfortable, too cold or too hot.
Second, if the child always scratches his body, his parents should carefully see if the child has rash and parasites in his anus.
Third, if you don’t sleep well for a long time and your legs, feet and arms twitch greatly, you should be careful whether your child lacks calcium or has other problems, and go to the hospital in time.
