Question
The newborn is now 20 days old and has been very fond of stretching their waist since birth. They prefer to sleep in someone’s arms, and when they are put down, they immediately stretch their waist, flail their arms and legs, twist their head continuously, and make grunting sounds. If they are not picked up, they will start vomiting after a while, but they will fall asleep quickly once held. Some people say this is a symptom of rickets, but the baby has a lot of black hair.
Answer
This behavior is normal in newborns, indicating that the child is growing. Just like adults changing sleep positions, babies cannot turn over and can only adjust their posture by stretching their waist. I hope this answer is helpful to you.
