A. yes shivering in newborn can be due to startle reflex and less likely due to calcium deficiency. 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. Hello dear parent! Regularly massage your child with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil. Complete the course of treatment as advised by your doctor. There will be gradual changes and improvement. Good luck and take care
