Infant related question

2024-01-22 13:17:26
Hello, my son is 5 months old, for quite sometime now he has been jerking a lot in his sleep, almost on daily basis,  like he is getting startled but there is s no particular stimulus present. Sometimes, it's single. Sometimes, multiple times. I haven't noticed anything unusual when he is awake. What should be done, as i m getting worried?
