Question

My baby has been talking in his sleep two or three times a night recently. He is healthy with no other symptoms, and his digestion is also fine. He doesn’t cry or fuss when he talks in his sleep, and he sleeps soundly after speaking. He hasn’t been treated for this. Will talking in his sleep affect his growth and development? Or could it be a symptom of some disease?

Answer

Babies often talk in their sleep at night due to the movement of neural cells in the brain responsible for language during deep sleep. Many of the movements and actions during dreaming are caused by the activity of neural cells responsible for movement in the brain. Generally, many of the lighter movements and speech during sleep are normal for babies. It’s important to establish a regular routine for your baby and avoid giving him scary stories before bedtime. These are suggestions for the question ‘What causes babies to talk in their sleep at night?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
