What is lacking when my child moves a lot while sleeping?

Patient's question:

The newborn baby moves a lot while sleeping, and even after falling asleep for a while, it makes some noises and then falls back asleep. The baby sleeps in its own crib, and the grandmother sleeps next to the crib. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, newborns move very forcefully during sleep, making their sleep unsafe, which may be caused by poor intestinal digestion and absorption function. It is recommended to first massage the stomach in a clockwise direction. When this is not effective, probiotics can be taken orally. When your baby sleeps, pay attention to whether there are specific patterns, such as bald spots on the head from pillows, and other issues.
Suggestions: It is necessary to distinguish between calcium deficiency and other types of calcium deficiency. Therefore, while supplementing with calcium, it is important to monitor the frequency of hand and foot spasms in children for further diagnosis.
