newborn restless sleep?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Restless sleep is quite common in newborns and is usually a physiological condition. In their first weeks, babies spend much more time in REM sleep (active sleep phase); during this time, twitching, whimpering, frowning, irregular breathing, and light sounds are normal. Also, hunger (newborns need to feed every 2-3 hours), colic, wet diapers, room temperature (too hot or too cold), and swaddling needs can contribute to restlessness. If baby is restless while continuously crying, refusing the breast/pacifier, has fever, or appears to have breathing difficulty, consult a pediatrician. Generally, irregular newborn sleep is expected and matures over time.
