Question
My baby is just over four months old, and last night they started suddenly having their eyes wide open and hands spread out in a big letter ‘A’ shape, looking very scared. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby might be experiencing a reaction of fear or muscle tension due to exhaustion. This situation is usually not serious, but if it occurs frequently or is accompanied by other unusual symptoms, it’s recommended to take the baby to see a doctor.
