While sleeping, my 3 months old baby would occasionally throw her hands upwards and tremble. She may also cry out loud after throwing her hands up. This may happen for no reason (no sudden loud noise or no one touch her suddenly). My mum blames me for not swaddling her, but she dislikes being swaddled since we brought her home. She will force herself out of the swaddle when we swaddle her during her deep sleep, or cry to get out of the swaddle if she can't escape. Now, my mum wants to wrap her hand tightly so that her hands will not "fly" upwards when she startles. She says that my baby has Jing Feng and wants to feed my baby with Jing Feng San. Should I stop her?

My baby used to do that too when she was younger but we stopped swaddling her when she was two weeks old as she slept in a non air conditioned room with us.
