Many mothers may notice a situation where their baby suddenly experiences convulsions while sleeping, but it is normal when they wake up the next day. So, what is the reason for the baby's convulsions while sleeping?
Generally, infants experience convulsions while sleeping, and one of the main reasons is that their brains have not fully developed, so the activity of their limbs is mainly controlled by the subcortical centers. However, because the control of the cortex is not so good, it can lead to involuntary convulsions of their limbs while sleeping.
But as the baby develops and the brain gradually improves, this situation will gradually disappear because the activity of the limbs is mainly controlled by the cerebral cortex at this time. In addition to seizures caused by incomplete brain development, babies with brain diseases can also experience seizures.
It is a common symptom for babies to experience convulsions while sleeping. Many brain diseases can lead to seizures, such as intracranial hemorrhage, meningitis, etc. The clinical manifestations are atypical, but if not detected and treated in a timely manner, it is easy to leave various sequelae, such as hydrocephalus and hemiplegia. Intellectual disability or delayed intellectual development. Some babies may experience limb twitching due to calcium deficiency, so it is important to supplement calcium during this time.
