Is it normal for a six-month-old baby to toss and turn frequently during sleep?

Generally, it is normal for a six-month-old baby to toss and turn frequently during sleep as this may be a natural physiological response. The specific reasons are as follows:

Babies around six months of age are in a rapid growth and developmental stage, beginning to learn new motor skills such as rolling over and sitting up. Therefore, frequent rolling during sleep may simply reflect subconscious practice of these newly acquired abilities. They might also adjust their sleeping positions out of curiosity, attempting to better observe and understand their surroundings. Some babies may roll over to find a more comfortable position or seek comfort items during sleep, such as pacifiers, to help them fall asleep. However, if these symptoms worsen and lead to prolonged sleep disturbances, parents should promptly take the baby to see a doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause.

In daily life, parents should ensure a quiet, comfortable, and suitable sleeping environment for the baby, and maintain a regular schedule for feeding and daily routines to support healthy growth and development.
