Question

During sleep, a baby’s hands and feet stretch every 2 to 3 minutes, and they also make noises in their mouths. Is this normal? Can a baby be fed normally during sleep? Sometimes, they might spit up milk; is this caused by bottle feeding?

Answer

The occurrence of a baby’s hands and feet stretching and making noises during sleep is generally considered normal and does not require excessive concern. Occasionally spitting up milk during feeding is also a normal phenomenon and is not directly caused by bottle feeding.
