I was recently telling my mom that I miss seeing my daughter smile in her sleep like she did when she was newborn -she is now 7 mos & only does it sometimes
My mom said that when I was a baby her Grandmother & her old gal pals told my mom that when a baby smiles in their sleep its called "THE HIVEY " or that they are "HIVEY" in their sleep - What does HIVEY mean ?? Does anyone know ?? Or is this just some old wives- tale thingy - or is it a real term - I had never heard of it before & my mom said she never looked it up when they told her about it & she always wondered what they were talking about - cause they (her grandparents) would see me smile in my sleep & say things all the time like " Awwww!! Thats so cute -she's got THE HIVEY " Anyone else heard of this????
???????

No - it has nothing to do with HIVES
the name of it just happens to be "HIVEY" & its suppossed to mean when a baby smiles in their sleep ????
Or that was what I was explained

My husband and I were older when we had our son, he was 41 and I was 34. So we had been around babies before. But when our son started doing this smiling and rolling his eyes in his sleep I told my husband that all babies do it. Then I secretly had friends over to see him do that. I cried to them because I thought something was seriously wrong with my baby. Funny thing is, now he's nine years old and he still does it.

I've never heard of that either! Weird stuff!
My 1 month old smiles in her sleep and I read its because they are dreaming of what they see and if they see their parents smiling the brain makes a reaction to it, and we see a pretty smile emerge!

nicely, this is slightly recommend in spite of the shown fact that it is not verbal abuse, she is probable only rather under pressure! grant o help her out slightly, tell her she seems under pressure and you will possibly desire to help her relax some. babies are stressful at 4 am in the event that they have additionally woken 4 different circumstances that night, lol! Verbal abuse may be greater alongside the lines of calling the infant curse words or stupid, issues like that.

The Hivey No... But I have heard that when they smile they are playing with the angles.

Well there are two definitions, one they get the hives (rash) and two they are energetic like bees in a hive. I'm going with energetic.
