Question
Is it normal for young children to strain their whole body? Do they need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take for them to recover after treatment?
Answer
During the first 1 to 3 months after birth, most of the time, infants are in a state of sleep, and their bodies are also continuously growing. Therefore, the behavior of young children straining their whole body is similar to adults stretching lazily, actually promoting their own growth, which is a normal manifestation of infant growth. Parents do not need to be overly concerned, as this phenomenon usually diminishes gradually with the growth of the child. If parents are concerned about this, they can consult a pediatrician, but in most cases, there is no need for special treatment. With time, this behavior of the child will naturally improve.
