Patient's question:
My son is seven months old. Recently, I've noticed that when he wakes up at night (not at midnight), his hands shake a little. This usually happens when he wakes up from a restless sleep, but it improves after a while. During the day, he's fine. Could you please ask the experts what might be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Causes of baby's small hand tremors. The most common cause is directly related to the immaturity of brain development. At this time, it is easy for the cerebral cortex to be uncontrolled, resulting in some involuntary tremors. Generally speaking, this situation is normal. Mom needs to continue observing the frequency of the baby's small hand tremors. If the baby's small hand tremors are frequent, you can distract the baby's attention by giving the baby some toys they like. If the baby's small hand tremors do not improve or even worsen, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.
