Doctor's answer:
Infants may twitch their limbs while sleeping. This is usually caused by excessive fatigue during the day and does not need to be a cause for concern.Recommendation: It is important to note that twitching in response to loud noises while the infant is sleeping is a normal reaction. On the other hand, if there is no response at all, especially if the child usually naps during the day, it could be a sign of epilepsy.
