Question
My baby is now three and a half months old and clings tightly to its body when lying down. Its arms pull in more when it lies down, and it doesn’t like to take long naps but loves to laugh. I mainly want to ask what this phenomenon of clinging tightly is, and whether the non-invasive DNA testing during pregnancy that detected a microdeletion on chromosome 14 could be related to this, and whether it could be a neurological disorder.
Answer
Hello, based on the information you’ve provided, your baby’s condition seems minor. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a check-up for peace of mind. In daily life, pay attention to keeping your baby warm to prevent colds, master the correct feeding techniques, breastfeed on demand, and pay close attention to your baby’s condition. If there are any abnormalities, seek medical attention promptly. These are my suggestions for this issue, hoping they will be helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health!
