Question
The baby has tight muscle tone, frequent hand and foot tremors, wakes up crying, and the fetal movements in the late pregnancy are very intense. Once the fetal monitor didn’t show any response. After one oxygen session, the fetal monitor showed normal, and the fetal movements were frequent until birth. Born at 40 weeks, weighing 6.4 pounds, noticed hand tremors right after birth. The hands often curl up and twitch, the head twists back and forth, whining, and is restless during sleep, always stretching. Feeds well. Growth and development are good, but the body doesn’t like to move much. Now two months old. The twitches are like this every day. He looks uncomfortable. Can it be cured? If it’s caused by choking on water, can it be cured? Now two months old, also smiles, makes babbling sounds. Object tracking responses are still good?
Answer
Based on your description, it’s possible that the baby may be deficient in calcium or that the nervous system development is not complete. It is recommended to supplement with cod liver oil and calcium gluconate to observe the effects. If it is due to incomplete nervous system development, these symptoms generally gradually disappear after 3 months. It is best to consult a rehabilitation doctor at a hospital for examination and receive symptomatic treatment and early rehabilitation training under professional medical guidance.
