What are the reasons for trembling in babies when they sleep

Patient's question:

All symptoms: Trembling in both hands while sleeping, looking very scared.
Onset time and cause: Treatment status: Desired help: Want to ask about the cause?

Doctor's answer:

Lack of trace elements, reduced blood calcium due to increased brain and vegetative nervous system excitability, leading to restless sleep at night in babies. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation are needed. If calcium deficiency occurs, the fontanelles of the baby may close poorly; if zinc deficiency occurs, mouth ulcers are usually present around the corners of the mouth.
Suggestions: Avoid excessive excitement before sleep, and maintain a regular sleep schedule. One hour before bedtime (0.5-1 hour), let the baby calm down. Avoid playing too excitedly or overstimulating the baby before bed. Do not watch stimulating TV programs, tell scary stories, or play with new toys. Create a good sleep environment for the baby. The room temperature should be comfortable, quiet, and dimly lit. Use lightweight, soft, and dry bedding. Before bed, ensure the baby has urinated.
