Tremors in infants are various manifestations of muscle twitching that are observed in a child from the moment of his birth. Tremors of the chin or limbs are more common. A tremor of the head may be observed - this is a sign of rather serious problems with neurology, but trembling hands or chin when crying or screaming before the age of three months is not considered a pathology.
Instructions
Step 1
Tremors in infants can occur due to the immaturity of the centers of the nervous system responsible for movement, as well as due to an excess of norepinephrine in the child's blood during emotions. These surpluses are due to the immaturity of the adrenal glands, which produce such a substance.
Step 2
There is a critical period in the development of the central nervous system in children in the first year of their life, during this period the nervous system is very vulnerable, so some kind of failure in its normal formation may occur. This is the 1st, 3rd, 9th and 12th month of your child's life - at this time it is advisable to visit a neurologist more often.
Step 3
If the shaking attacks last longer, and they are observed in a year or later, this means that your baby has or has damage in the nervous system that happened during childbirth or pregnancy. Such injuries have many reasons: stress in mothers during their pregnancy matters, hormones in their blood can exceed the norm, only in them it was expressed not in muscle twitching, but in other emotional reactions. This increase in hormone levels was experienced by your little one, and it could imbalance the endocrine and nervous systems. Hypoxia during pregnancy and childbirth also contributes to the appearance of disturbances in the activity of the brain. Hypoxia occurs when the functions of the placenta are dysfunctional, with threats of miscarriage and bleeding, with intrauterine infection and polyhydramnios. Weak labor and rapid delivery, entanglement of the fetus with the umbilical cord, exfoliation of the placenta - all this can lead to a violation of the flow of oxygen to the brain, and in the future it will manifest itself as a tremor in the newborn.
Step 4
Babies born prematurely are more likely to experience tremors of the limbs, lips and chin, since their nervous system is not yet fully mature, and its maturation outside the mother's body, even with proper and good care, will be slowed down.
Step 5
The tremor of newborns, although it is considered not requiring the use of correction before the age of 3 months, should lead parents to think that this is the "weak link" of the child, and should be monitored. The nervous system in newborns is a dynamic and malleable formation, with timely and correct treatment, it is perfectly restored and strengthened. After a short time, your baby will become absolutely healthy. In addition to supervision by a neurologist, a baby suffering from tremors must necessarily need massage and gymnastics conducted by an experienced specialist, swimming in the pool, and a calm and friendly family.
