My daughter is 4 years old and over the past few weeks she has been waking up crying because her hand has fallen asleep. It happens maybe once a week over the last 3 weeks. Should I be worried? Or is it something simple like time to upgrade from a toddler bed? Just not sure whether or not this should be something to be worried about or not...
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of your child. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is needed. Usually due to the sleeping position there might be a chance of the hand to fall asleep. Trying a different position for the child will help to avoid such symptoms. Due to the lying in one singular position there will be a compress on one side and leads this symptom. Incase after changing the position for the child, still the symptoms persist than a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. Post which the treatment measures will be undertaken.
