Baby born two weeks, always open eyes while sleeping and moving limbs

Patient's question:

Baby has been born for two weeks, always opening their eyes while sleeping, occasionally making straining throat sounds, moving their limbs, and sometimes showing expressions of crying. What is the doctor saying about this situation?

Doctor's answer:

The nervous system of a newborn baby is still under development, and the excitatory and inhibitory functions of the nerves are not yet well coordinated. They are easily excitable, and slight external stimuli may lead to nervous system excitement. Straining, blushing, frowning, and humming may occur. During naps, they may experience startles, tremors, and trembling in their limbs and body, among other things. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As the baby grows older, the improvement in the development of the nervous system will naturally make this phenomenon disappear.
