Baby sleep startle

Introduction Baby sleepy startle is actually a phenomenon that is common in the neonatal period. It is a physiological manifestation in medicine. The newborn has four limbs and unconscious shaking of the body, which is often called shocking. This behavior of the baby is due to the baby's self-protection response and the protection of the outside world. However, if the baby is often stunned or shaken after five months or so, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check the nervous system. Especially in the winter, when the baby is cold, it is easier to shake, so pay attention to the baby in winter. Keep warm.

Cause

The cause of baby sleepy:

The phenomenon of startle jumping in newborns is mainly due to the imperfect development of the neonatal nervous system, the immature development of the cerebral cortex, and the high excitability of the central nervous cells, which is easily stimulated by stimulation. In newborn newborns, the nerve fibers of the body can not completely form certain reaction conditions, and the development is not yet complete, so limb twitching will occur after a little sound stimulation. This is the stimuli received by the baby can not be passed to the brain like an adult to judge, so that limb limbs will occur. As the baby continues to develop, the various systems inside the body will gradually improve, and will slowly and consciously face various situations, and the external sound will not be so sensitive or even hear the sudden sound will be Scared to cry. There is also a gradual decrease in the limbs.
