Question
What’s happening when a newborn’s lips twitch while crying?
Answer
Hello, the twitching of a newborn’s lips while crying could be a normal shiver, or it might indicate a nervous system disorder. It’s recommended to have a professional examination to confirm whether it’s a twitch. If it is, further imaging tests such as an MRI or CT scan may be needed to determine the cause and initiate early treatment. If it’s just a shiver, it’s usually considered a normal newborn phenomenon.
