Baby shaking

It’s hard to see it and I’ve never been able to catch it on camera but my baby shakes sometimes. Whole body. Generally when he’s just fallen asleep. Anyone ever experienced this or heard about it or have any advice or opinions? Haven’t been able to find anything about it on the net & my doctor has been useless. It doesn’t happen all the time just here and there since birth (7mo now)

My newborn does while feeding not sure what it is but I put it down to them learning to be on the outside and they are always learning new things

@Catherine yeah when he was a newborn I didn’t think anything of it either

Twitches when falling asleep are pretty normal. Even adults do that sometime. Usually it happens when a person is right on the edge of sleep right past being wake. .

Sounds like moro reflex. Pretty normal.

They do this when falling asleep your body just twitches. My husband twitches so hard he wakes me up 🤦‍♀️. But everyone does it!

My baby did something similar, i was super worried i tried several times to record to no avail. Took her to d GP, even to A&E where the doctor on duty said it was a behavioural, they eventually grow out of it. She had been checked severely and nothing was wrong, eventually she stopped. I don’t know if it’s same thing, but i do hope e grows out of it as well. Else persist with the doctors till your nind is at ease.

Entire body though?

Is he doing it when he stretches also? My baby does it

@Hannah only when he is asleep (not stretching) but I do know the stretching shake this is completely different

@Sera Kay ✨ ahhh okay I’m very sorry mama I hope everything gets figured out please keep us posted. Do you have a local doctor or portal to reach out to or nurse about this?
