Babies are usually active all day and can only calm down when they are asleep. But there are also some babies who cannot be idle while sleeping and often move their hands and feet. For this phenomenon, the mother must be particularly worried. What's wrong with the baby always being startled when sleeping at 4 months old?
Under normal circumstances, babies should be sleeping peacefully. If a 4-month-old baby always sleeps in shock, it may be caused by being startled. When a baby is startled, they may show symptoms such as restless sleep, loss of appetite, and poor mental state. At this time, the mother needs to find ways to relieve the symptoms for the baby. If the symptoms are severe, she can give some sedative drugs. If it's not very serious, as long as you hug the baby more and give them a sense of security, the baby won't always be startled when they sleep.
Another situation that can cause babies to always be startled while sleeping is calcium deficiency. When a baby shows symptoms of calcium deficiency, they cannot sleep soundly. If the baby is also accompanied by symptoms such as bald head, easy sweating during sleep, and frequent crying, it is basically confirmed to be caused by calcium deficiency. At this point, the primary task of the mother is to supplement calcium for the baby, but not randomly. Be sure to consult a doctor at the hospital before purchasing calcium supplements that are suitable for your baby's age, so that you can see the effect faster.
