Q.

#asktheexperts Good afternoon Doctor. My son is 2 month 22 days old, from his 2nd week onwards I have seen that he started shivering his leg for 4-5 seconds . sometimes left leg and sometimes right leg. But now from his 2nd month it shivers 2-3 times in a week but in beginning his leg was shivering every day 1 or 2 times. why this is happening with him? Is it Normal? please suggest .

A. shivering in newborn can be due to startle reflex and less likely due to calcium deficiency. kindly continue to give breadstfeeding to the child afnd take a video of the shivering and meet your doctor who will tell you whether it is normal startle reflex or it is due to hypocalcemia.
