Question

Is it normal for newborns to frequently twitch, especially during sleep?

Answer

Newborns have not yet fully developed their nervous system and are prone to generalized responses to external stimuli. This usually manifests as whole-body tremors and extension of limbs, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if the condition persists and affects sleep, it may be necessary to check for hypocalcemia, and consider supplementing with vitamin D and calcium gluconate.
