#asktheexperts why does my baby shakes her leg sometimes while sleeping

A. If your baby shakes her legs while sleeping, it could be due to several benign reasons. One common cause is normal sleep movements, where babies often experience rhythmic leg shaking or jerking as part of their natural sleep cycle, especially during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Another possibility is startle reflex or myoclonic jerks, which are involuntary muscle contractions that can occur as babies transition between sleep stages. Additionally, it could be a way for your baby to release energy or a sign of developing motor skills. While occasional leg shaking is generally normal, if it becomes frequent, is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, or disrupts her sleep, it may be worth discussing with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
