My baby slept when I was feeding her and suddenly she started shaking completely. I made her wake up and she was normal.
I am scared, what this could be? Is she is having some problem? She is already showing irritability for the past few days. Please help me.
Baby Help Line:
Baby Shaking When Waking Up
Have you ever experienced that when you have just fallen asleep, you dream that you are falling? Then you wake up with a jump. That may very well have been what happened to your baby. Some babies also have a slightly immature nervous system, which may cause shaking.
Sometimes shaking in babies can be a warning sign of some neuro problems, but then often the shaking is combined with other indications that something is wrong, like falling behind developmental milestones, for example.
You can read about some warning signs when a baby is shaking here.
However, since you are worried and if it happens again, maybe you should take your baby to see a doctor.
I hope this helps,
Paula
