Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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 yoxur doctor who will tell you whether it is normal startle reflex or it is due to hypocalcemia.
Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. hi
well, usually it's normal
because it's natural startle reflex where babies extend their arms and legs sometimes with a slight shiver.
or it can be result of cold, muscles twitching or hunger too
but if there is other symptoms like excess crying, difficulty in breathing, fever, lethargic, change in feeding pattern etc please visit your pediatrician
