Is it normal for my baby to mumble and move while she sleeps?
During certain sleep stages you are more active and alert. You can toss and turn a lot during a non-REM sleep. During a REM sleep you are dreaming a lot. Especially in young children, you may be doing some twitching movements. There is a very interesting phenomenon called hypnagogic hallucinations that you can have. As you fall asleep you may go through a phase of very vivid emotions. It's not really dreaming but it's actually hallucinations such as you may be hearing things or there may be a lot of movements there as well. You may be doing some twitching. Twitching can occur, especially in young babies during REM sleep.
