My baby often shakes suddenly when sleeping. Is he sick or something?

Question 1: My baby is just eight days old. He always twitches and shakes when sleeping, and he cannot sleep well. He feels like he is scared. What should the doctor do? Dr. Sun Cuiying answered: Give the baby a quiet environment. The baby is now relatively small, the nervous system is not fully developed, and the brain\’s inhibitory function is relatively weak. Any stimulation will cause neural generalization, causing whole-body shaking or startle reactions. This is very dangerous. It is common and will gradually improve with age. If the baby is awakened by such shaking during sleep, the mother can gently touch and touch the shaking part of the baby. Generally, the shaking will stop as long as the baby is touched. Question 2: My baby is more than one year old and eight months old. He always likes to drink water. A 200ml cup, three or four cups of water in the morning, three or four cups in the afternoon. He drinks water whenever he wakes up at night. He can drink two or three cups. Is it normal for him to urinate every ten minutes after drinking water? I used to love drinking water, but recently I drank a lot. Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: If the temperature at home is high and dry, especially if the air conditioner is turned on, drinking water will be dry. But drinking so much in one day is a bit too much for such an old child. It is recommended to check the urine routine. If the urine specific gravity is too low, it is recommended to check the brain MRI to see the pituitary gland, and parents can also go online to learn about diabetes insipidus. Question: The nose of a three-month-old baby has yellow hair and looks like millet-like bumps, also on both sides of the nose. What is going on? Dr. He Jiexin answered: The child\’s sebaceous glands are not fully developed yet, so if this happens, you don\’t need to deal with it, and it will slowly subside on its own.
