When we imagine a sleeping baby we visualize it with our eyes closed, almost with a semi-smile of happiness, covered with a light white sheet and breathing in a rhythmic and leisurely manner.
Well, many babies sleep similar to our imagination, but many others sleep in a less idyllic way, making involuntary movements, almost constant gemidites and even giving the feeling that they are agitated. Given this situation, which many parents can see as a problem (we must rule out that it is not), we will try to answer the question: What I do?
Problems to rule out
Before saying that it is normal, that many babies sleep like this, it is necessary to explain that it could be due to some problem. If it is a baby who normally sleeps well, but suddenly he is more agitated and making more noise, it could be because that night is hotter or colder, that he is hungry, that he has a dirty diaper, that he He would like to be more accompanied or close to his parents, to which he is going through bad days, more nervous, and that is why he spends restless nights, that he is beginning to show the symptoms of an infection that has not yet given fever, to which he has any discomfort digestive as for example reflux and that is why it is more restless, because ...
In Babies and more What does your baby dream of?As you can see, there are many causes that can make a baby suddenly sleep more agitated.

Once the problems are ruled out
Ideally, if you have a baby like the one mentioned above, you tell the pediatrician or nurse, in one of the visits, so that with some questions and with a brief exploration they can rule out possible problems.
On many occasions, many, the baby is fine and those nights full of faces and gestures are normal, without responding to anything concrete. They are considered to be phases of sleep, probably the most active and superficial phases, when the brain is functioning (the phases in which we dream), which precede the deep sleep in which children sleep like little angels. As these phases can take place throughout the night every 40-60 minutes, we may hear him move and groan many times during the night, feeling that he does not stop "complaining."
This being, and how the dream is evolutionary, how it changes as the child grows, there is nothing to do beyond waiting for it to grow, that the dream is changing and that we see as our son, the one who seems to want to say something even when he sleeps, begins to sleep, then yes, as we had always imagined.
