POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. Yes, it is normal for babies, especially in the first few months, to flicker or move their hands and legs during sleep. This is known as "sleep jerks" or "startle reflex" (Moro reflex), which is a natural reflex in infants. It usually happens during lighter stages of sleep and is a sign that their nervous system is still developing. As babies grow, these movements typically decrease. However, if you notice any unusual or excessive twitching, or if the baby seems to be in distress, it's always a good idea to consult with a pediatrician to rule out any concerns.
