Question
My baby is 29 days old and is fully supplied. There has been another case of partial premature rupture of membranes, causing intrauterine distress. The Apgar score was 4 at birth, rising to 7 after 5 minutes. After 9 days of hospital treatment, the MRI was normal upon discharge. After discharge, the baby’s hands and feet tremble occasionally during afternoon naps, and the lower legs also tremble when burping. The baby doesn’t sleep through the night and often wakes up. Are these symptoms related to choking on water?
Answer
Based on your description, aside from having difficulty breathing at birth, which was resolved with treatment and normal discharge, there are generally no major issues. The nervous system of newborns is still developing, so occasional seizures are not a concern and will gradually improve over time. There’s no need to worry excessively.
