Many friends have developed a great sense of responsibility after becoming parents, wholeheartedly taking care of their babies. During the care process, it was found that the baby likes to clench their fists tightly while sleeping, usually using four fingers to wrap around their thumb. This is a common reaction, so how many months does the baby hold their fists while sleeping?
It is normal for newborn babies to clench their fists and raise both hands while sleeping. This is because during pregnancy, especially in the mid to late stages, the fetus does not have enough space in the mother's uterus to stretch its body and can only curl up and hold its fists. This state will continue for a period of time after the baby is born, about three to four months, and the baby's hands will gradually relax, no longer clenching their fists tightly, so parents don't have to worry too much.
In addition, if the baby is in shallow sleep, they will also clench their fists on their own. And the baby will also show many expressions and movements, such as clenching fists, frowning, rolling eyes, smiling, kicking legs, etc. This way, parents will think that their babies are very cute, which is actually a subconscious behavior of the babies. Parents don't have to worry, just pay attention to observing their babies' sleep more.
Parents should be aware that if their baby's fist is still tightly clenched and difficult to open after 4 months, they should promptly go to the hospital to check if the baby's muscles or joints are developing normally. Ensure the health of the baby and help them grow up smoothly.
