Question
A two-month-old baby exhibits hand swinging during sleep, causing concern among parents, and this condition has persisted for some time. What health issues might this situation cause?
Answer
Hand swinging in a baby during sleep may be due to sleep restlessness caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to seek timely medical diagnosis and examination at a local hospital to clearly identify and take appropriate treatment measures. Since the baby’s nervous system development is not fully matured after birth, symptoms such as being easily startled may occur. It is suggested to supplement vitamin D for the baby to promote calcium absorption and, according to weather conditions, appropriately go out in the sun, which also helps with calcium absorption. If symptoms occur frequently, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
