A. shivering in newborn can be due to startle reflex and less likely due to calcium deficiency. kindly ccontinue to give breastfeeding to the child and 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. c

A. Yup It definitely could be an indication for an issue it’s not a good sign for a child to have shivering in the body or legs so it’s important that you get a check with your paediatrician ones the doctor can advise you correctly after assessing the child
