The child falls asleep while sleeping and suddenly experiences symptoms of startle, but the child does not wake up during the startle. After the startle, the child continues to sleep soundly. Parents who witness their child's behavior throughout the entire process will be particularly worried and scared, wanting to figure out what's going on with their child's sleep startle?
What's wrong with a child jumping while sleeping
Frequent sleep startles in babies are a natural physiological phenomenon. As the baby's nervous system is not fully developed, the impulse transmission of the nervous system will form a generalized phenomenon, which is directly related to the immature development of the nervous system. However, it cannot be ruled out that the cause of the disease may be due to calcium deficiency in the baby, and the phenomenon of startle reflex may last longer and occur more frequently. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis.
What should I do if my child jumps while sleeping
For the symptoms of frequent startles during sleep in babies, we need to take some necessary measures, because babies are born in a quiet environment before birth, and the environment after birth is noisy and bright, making it difficult for them to adapt to the characteristics of startles. Choose a quiet environment for babies to sleep in, avoid being stimulated by strong light or noise, and cultivate their ability to adapt to the environment, such as playing some soft music for babies.
After the birth of the baby, the mother massages the baby every day, which can help stimulate and inhibit the baby's primitive reflexes. Regular massage or touch can make the baby feel secure and have the ability to distinguish different external tactile sensations. Exercise is very helpful for the baby to control their body. The inner ear vestibule has a regulating effect on body balance throughout the year, and stimulating the baby's vestibule through exercise, such as clapping games.
If a child frequently experiences startles while sleeping, such as once a day, it is best for parents to take the child to the hospital to check their brain and other physical conditions, to see why the child frequently experiences startles, and to calm themselves down.
