LO has a vibrating leg!?

Amelia Pond · Apr 7th, 2012, 08:12 AM

My Lo is 15 weeks old (adjusted age 11 weeks) and every other day her right leg vibrates for approx 5 seconds. What is this? Anyone else experience this?

Not here but my niece did it. If it stops when you hold her leg, it's normal. Babies have immature nervous systems and they have hyper reflexes. If it keeps shaking when you hold it, ask your dr. When I stretch hard from yawning in the morning sometimes my hands shake

How long did your neice have it for? I tried holding her leg and it feels like a buzzing sensation but it did stop after about a second. But it passes so quick anyway its hard to tell!

My LO has this, it got really bad at about 8 weeks every time a touched his foot he did it. I took him docs and they said it was reflexes and he would outgrow it. He is nearly 14 weeks now and he still does it occasionally but not as often x
