The cause of baby sleepy:

The phenomenon of startle jumping in newborns is mainly due to the imperfect development of the neonatal nervous system, the immature development of the cerebral cortex, and the high excitability of the central nervous cells, which is easily stimulated by stimulation. In newborn newborns, the nerve fibers of the body can not completely form certain reaction conditions, and the development is not yet complete, so limb twitching will occur after a little sound stimulation. This is the stimuli received by the baby can not be passed to the brain like an adult to judge, so that limb limbs will occur. As the baby continues to develop, the various systems inside the body will gradually improve, and will slowly and consciously face various situations, and the external sound will not be so sensitive or even hear the sudden sound will be Scared to cry. There is also a gradual decrease in the limbs.
