Is it normal for a newborn who has just completed a month to have convulsions while sleeping during the day?

Patient's question:

During the day, the baby sleeps occasionally with slight tremors in the hands, feet, or head, but does not cry. What could be the cause?
The baby had 2 tremors when it was less than a month old, and once again at the time of being exactly one month old.

Doctor's answer:

Babies of a young age experiencing this situation is generally normal, as their nervous system development is not yet fully mature, and some slight noises can cause them to startle. This condition will gradually improve as the baby grows older. When the baby is sleeping, you can place some of the mother's clothing or blankets on both sides to avoid having empty spaces. This can enhance the baby's sense of security and reduce the likelihood of them being startled.
