Patient's question:
My baby is 18 months old. Since she was a baby, whenever I rock her to sleep in my arms, her buttocks and feet would always move up and down, bending and straightening as if it were very painful inside her bones. Now, sometimes even when she sits alone with nothing to do and feels sluggish, she still does this. Her development is considered average to below average. First follow-up question: Is this considered a disease? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The baby is just starting to learn to walk or crawl. During the day, they are too focused and excited. So, they bring this excitement into sleep at night, which can lead to situations like rolling around and sleeping with their butts up. My baby was also neglected. As long as he feels comfortable in this sleeping position, it's fine. It will turn into such a baby-like appearance. It seems that's how it is. My home baby is the same. He's always tossing and turning in bed and sometimes sits up with his buttocks for a while before lying down again. Usually, it's because the baby is too hot. It could also be due to the baby being "hot" (upset) or restless. So, they keep changing positions.
