Some babies are particularly restless when sleeping, often experiencing foot movements or hand tremors, which can easily cause them to wake up. Once awakened, they also cry loudly. For many parents, that is indeed a very distressing thing, and they may be afraid of affecting their baby's sleep and want to find the key reasons for these negative behaviors. What's wrong with the baby's trembling hands while sleeping?
What's wrong with the baby's trembling hands while sleeping
Physiological hand tremors are small in amplitude and fast in speed, often occurring at rest, and are a small, rapid, and irregular shaking. Physiological hand tremors often occur in situations of mental tension and fear. Once the aforementioned causes of hand tremors are eliminated, hand tremors also disappear.
Pathological hand tremors, medically known as "tremors"; It refers to the involuntary tremors of the hands, often permanent. It is mainly divided into two types: static hand tremors and dynamic hand tremors. Static hand tremors are hand tremors that occur when muscles are completely relaxed, that is, in a quiet state. This kind of hand shaking can disappear while sleeping, with a shaking speed of 4-6 times per second, which is quite regular.
How to deal with baby's hand tremors while sleeping
When a baby shakes, parents can gently press any part of their body with their hands to make them quiet. Some children may also experience irregular shaking of their fingers, eyelids, and toes without light and sound stimulation, usually for a short duration.
The reason why babies shake during sleep is because some brain cells are in a dormant state while others are still in an excited state. At this point, if there is a change in lighting or sound, it may cause the child to involuntarily shake their hands and feet. After entering deep sleep, this phenomenon will disappear.
It may be a normal phenomenon for babies to have hand tremors while sleeping, or it may be influenced by ADHD. If it is a normal physiological phenomenon, there is generally not much interference. Regularly correct it, for example, when a baby's hands shake while sleeping, gently massage the affected area to promote coordination and reduce shaking.
