Hi My daughter (1 year 5 months) just woke up in a state, she was crying, was half in a trance like state (eyes open but not seeming to properly register / disengage sleep) and she was battling to move / control her arms to take her bottle and guide it to her mouth. She was also pulling her head back slightly awkardly (I think to try and pull her arms up properly). She is very overtired (went 8 hours between sleeps this afternoon) and I think she may have been sleeping on her stomach (she tends to do this with her arms half tucked under her) which could have given her pins and needles / dead arms. It took about 10 minutes to calm her down, arm function was 90% and we have put her back to bed where she has fallen asleep. Is my diagnosis right or what do you suggest?
Hi, welcome to this forum. This could be due to muscular spasm due to sleeping over hand. It usually gets relieved on its own in 2 to 3 hours. If the pain is persisting then pain reliever spray should be used. Take care.
