A. yes possible in your case a medical examination is required for proper diagnosis and treatment. difficult to tell without examination whether it is normal or not.d advisable to remain in contact with your doctor for proper guidance and treatment

A. UI researchers believe that infants' twitches during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are linked to sensorimotor development—that when the sleeping body twitches, it's activating circuits throughout the developing brain and teaching newborns about their limbs and what they can do with them.
