Why does the newborn twitch in a dream?
The sleep of a young child is almost always superficial and intermittent. This is due, first of all, to the fact that every day the kid receives a huge number of new emotions and impressions, which leads to the fact that he can not sleep peacefully.
In addition, contrary to the widely held opinion, infants from the time of their birth see dreams. And the phase of vision of dreams is replaced at them by a phase of deep sleep much more often, than at adults. Finally, if a newborn child often jerks in a dream and wakes up, this may be due to the uncomfortable sensations that cause intestinal colic, teething and other health problems.
It is also necessary to consult a doctor if your baby does not have ordinary twitching, but convulsions. Determine what exactly are the movements of the baby, in most cases is not difficult. With convulsions, there is a feeling that the entire body of the child or some part of it trembles tremendously. Such a disorder, especially at night, may be a symptom of epilepsy and other diseases associated with the pathology of the nervous system of crumbs.
