The baby is holding his breath and blushing and struggling. What's going on?

It is normal for babies to hold their breath and blush while struggling, but it may also be a sign of calcium deficiency. The child seems to be trying hard to hold his breath and blush, but sometimes this is a form of exercise for the child and a sign of the child's growth and development. Of course, if this happens frequently, it may be caused by calcium deficiency. At this time, you should check whether you are deficient in calcium and supplement calcium in time.

Stretching for adults is an exercise in which the arms are raised upward accompanied by conscious muscle contraction. However, it also happens in the neonatal period. Since the muscles of newborns are not yet strong, the movements will not be as obvious as those of adults, and it will look like they are exerting force. Most of the muscles in the body contract strongly, squeezing more blood out of the muscle blood vessels and driving it back to the heart, improving blood circulation. During this process, you can see that the capillaries are congested, causing the facial skin to turn red. This is more obvious in newborns because their skin is thinner, making them more likely to blush. The contraction of the abdominal muscles squeezes the intestinal tract and increases intestinal peristalsis. It is not difficult to understand why parents find that their babies fart and defecate at this time. Adults with extrapyramidal disorders may experience chorea (a type of involuntary movement that is rapid, irregular, purposeless, asymmetric, and of varying amplitudes, and may occur on the face, trunk, limbs, etc.). However, in the neonatal period, due to the immaturity of the nervous system, intermittent chorea-like limb movements or muscle tremors may occur, which disappear as the nervous system matures. Of course, some diseases may also cause the above symptoms in the early stages. If the newborn has a history of distress in the womb, asphyxia at birth, etc., it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to determine the cause.

Parents need to know about the following abnormal symptoms

1. Cloon: refers to the rhythmic stretch reflex that occurs when skeletal muscles are stretched sharply with external force. It is multiple and repeated muscle contractions. This phenomenon occurs when the pyramidal pathway is damaged, thereby relieving the inhibition of the reflex center, or when the excitability of the center is abnormally increased. At this time, you need to take your child to the hospital for a systemic examination. 2. Infantile spasms: caused by brain disease. The mortality rate of this disease is over 10%, and over 90% of the patients have mental retardation. Therefore, it is very important to recognize this disease and control it in time. There are four types of clinical manifestations: Bowing cramps: A sudden, brief whole-body muscle spasm occurs, with the trunk and legs bending and the arms stretching forward and outward. Nodding spasm: Muscle spasm is limited to the head and neck, and nodding-like attacks occur. Lightning seizures: These seizures are so brief that they are only noticeable if you happen to be watching the child when they occur. Atypical forms of seizures include asymmetric spasms, such as: head rotation to one side or convulsion of one side of the limb, head tilted back, eyes rolled up, legs stretched, opisthotonos, etc.
