Why does a newborn baby always sleep with his hands raised?

He didn't adapt so quickly, after all, he had always been like this when he was in his mother's womb.

Maybe he felt more comfortable like that. Or maybe it's like that in the mother's womb.

I guess he might be simulating the feeling in his stomach.

It may be that it is to maintain the balance of this body, which is why it is said to be like this.

This is the baby's instinctive response, and this sleeping position is also the baby's instinctive response to seeking a comfortable position, the baby's body is cylindrical and easily flipped. Raising your hands high and adopting a "surrendered" sleeping position can avoid the risk of face-down suffocation due to flipping. It seems that the baby also knows how to protect himself, and this "surrendering" sleeping position is also a kind of self-protection for the baby. ‍‍

Sometimes the sleeping position is controlled by our subconscious, and it may be that this state is more comfortable. And the bed is also relatively large and can be stretched.

Self-protection: This sleeping position can protect the baby, because it is difficult for the newborn to turn over alone, if accidentally touched, causing the face down, mouth and nose to cover the bedding can easily lead to suffocation. And this sleeping position with the arm raised, even if the novice parents accidentally touch it, it is not easy to cause the baby to turn over and face down, which is a very safe sleeping position.

This is the baby is protecting itself, the newborn baby, the bones are relatively soft, the head has no strength, sleeping on the side or sleeping on the stomach is easy to block the baby's mouth and nose, there is a risk of suffocation, sleeping on the back is the safest position. So, don't look at the baby is small, he actually knows how to take care of himself!

Newborns like to raise their hands and bend their legs like a little frog when they sleep, which is particularly cute. In fact, this "surrender" posture of the sleeping position is a normal physiological phenomenon, parents should not forcibly correct the baby's sleeping position. When the baby is in the mother's womb, in order to reduce the space occupied, it is as close as possible, and the legs and arms are kept in this position for a long time, and after birth, the legs and arms will bend by inertia, which is a normal phenomenon.

This sleeping position will make the baby feel more secure, and parents should not forcibly pull the baby's legs and arms.

Survival instinct, although children are young and ignorant, but they will also pursue the most comfortable and safe sleeping position, when the child is in this position, it can greatly relax the body muscles, will not compress the heart, lungs and other organs, to avoid the occurrence of suffocation.

The instinct brought from the mother's womb, the fetus is in the mother's womb, because the uterine space is relatively small, it lives in a curled posture, with the hands shrunk in front of the chest and the legs bent. After the baby is born, this habit of life is also brought out, the hands and legs are bent, but the space becomes larger, the small hands and feet are released, and it becomes the "frog style" we see.

More secure, little babies like the feeling of being wrapped tightly, which will make them feel more secure, and sleeping with their heads in their hands can make them feel like they are still living in their mother's womb, which will be more secure.

Before explaining that the baby raises his hands to sleep, raising his hands when he sleeps means that the yang energy is sufficient and vigorous, and the body is very healthy, so he will have this posture of raising his hands high. As the old saying goes, "the tiger hugging the head" refers to this position when the baby sleeps. In this position, the baby will sleep more soundly.

Parents do not need to worry too much or deliberately correct the baby's sleeping position, because even if the baby's hand is lowered, within a few seconds, he will raise his hand again, and sometimes because the baby is asleep, it will be disturbed and even cry loudly. If you're worried about your baby catching a cold, it's also a good idea to put him in a one-piece suit or put him to sleep in a sleeping bag.

Instinctive self-protection, the baby's body is round and soft, if the hands are not raised, the body will be easier to flip, face down and cause suffocation.

This is the instinctive reaction of newborns, who feel that such movements feel more secure and promote physical health; No, because some children's movements are tiger hugging their heads, and each child's movements are different, and it is their personal instinctive reaction.

Because newborns are insecure, and because it is a personal habit of newborns, and each child's personality is different, I don't think all children are like this.

Because newborns don't know how to adjust their posture and don't know what position is suitable for sleeping, they will raise their hands, and of course not all children look like this.

In our life, there are many mothers will take care of newborns, find that the baby will always hold their hands tightly when sleeping, and then hold it, although the action is very cute, but the hands are exposed for a long time, it is inevitable that the mother will feel afraid that the baby will be cold. First of all, we can understand that for newborns, this situation is very common, and the mother does not need to worry too much, in fact, the baby's hands and feet are often used to dissipate heat, which can also reduce the baby's body may sweat. In fact, we can also find that not only the baby's hands always feel that the legs will also show a certain degree of O-shaped legs, so these two conditions will improve little by little with the growth of the baby and the enhancement of muscle strength.

For newborns, they do not have a certain understanding of the world, and then the coordination of the body has not been developed to a certain extent, so after birth, they will also carry the posture in the womb, because the sleeping position will cause the arms to not be placed on the chest, so that parents can find that the child will often hold his hands up when sleeping. Secondly, some parents will also find that when the baby is just born, there will be a slight O-shaped leg posture, which is also caused by the baby curled up in the womb for a long time, so parents do not need to worry too much.

Many babies sleep with their hands pouted, and the height will be too high above their heads, so it is inevitable that the baby will be cold in winter, and the indoor temperature can be properly adjusted to avoid the baby being attacked by a certain amount of cold. Secondly, you should also choose to wear some loose clothes for the baby to prevent the baby from being restrained by the body because of the lifting of his hands to sleep, which will bring a series of discomfort to the baby.

Based on the above, we can understand that it is a very common situation for newborns to sleep with their hands held all the time, and parents do not need to worry too much about it as long as they pay attention to avoid affecting and harming the baby's breathing and body in their lives.

Because when the baby is just born, in fact, they will continue to sleep in this position in the mother's belly, so sometimes parents can see some strange sleeping positions of the baby, which are actually normal.

I think this is related to the baby's personality, and this is also a habit of the baby, and this is also a behavior of the baby, so parents must look at it rationally.

This is because the newborn has not yet adapted to the new environment, and he sleeps in this position when he is in the womb, so it is not transformed now.

Because the child maintains such a position in the belly, and secondly, because the child feels very comfortable.

It's an instinctive reaction, he's used to it, it's like this when he's in his mother's womb, so it's still like sleeping now.

Maybe your child's hands are tired, or your child wants to be hugged by their parents. That's why I put my hands up.

I've always had a lot of questions. I remember when my kids were younger, I went to bed like this, I put my hand down, and after a while I raised it again
