    In my mother's belly, this very closed, narrow space allows me to move at will, and I feel safe. After birth, it may be a simple activity, but the range is larger, so the movement is not restricted, so it will be a little scary.

    It may be because the baby's own nervous system is not fully developed and can not control itself, and as the baby grows older, these reactions will disappear on their own.

    Because the baby's brain tissue is not fully developed, the function of controlling the muscles is not yet perfect, and the subcortical center and spinal cord in the subordinate position are relatively complete in function, so the baby's movements are completed through them, and are not completely controlled by the highest nerve center cerebral cortex. The most stable, coordinated, and purposeful movement can only be achieved by movement controlled by the cerebral cortex. Therefore, babies often have aimless, involuntary muscle shaking.

    However, with the gradual improvement of brain function, the baby will have conscious and purposeful movements, and this involuntary shaking will slowly disappear.

    The baby's sleeping legs are shaky, which may be caused by factors such as imperfect development, calcium deficiency, and epilepsy.

    1.Imperfect development: Because the baby is young and the brain nerves are not fully developed, they cannot effectively control the legs after falling asleep, so there will be symptoms of leg shaking. This is normal and will improve after growth and development.

    2.Calcium deficiency: Because the baby's bone growth and development rate is fast, if the usual intake of nutrients is insufficient, it will lead to a lack of calcium in the body, which will enhance the excitability of muscles and nerves, and cause symptoms of shaking legs during sleep.

    3.Epilepsy: If the baby's brain is damaged during childbirth, it will cause abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain, which will cause symptoms of shaking legs during sleep, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as convulsions and loss of consciousness all over the body.

    The baby's sleeping legs are shaky, and there may be other reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and after the examination is clear, give targeted treatment or ** under the guidance of the doctor.
