A. shivering in newborn can be due to startle reflex and less likely due to calcium ddeficiency. kindly continue 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.

A. hi yes it is normal. as such no need to worry. but if the frequency of doing this is high and if a child is not gaining enough weight,not achieving age appropriate milestones then you should consult your pediatrician.
