What are the causes of newborn leg tremors?

Many babies will experience leg tremors shortly after birth, especially when they are crying or exerting force. There are many reasons for leg tremors. Parents can give their babies some cod liver oil, take their babies out to bask in the sun more often to sterilize and disinfect, and give their babies more foods high in calcium. There are probably the following reasons for the trembling legs of newborns, and parents don’t need to worry too much.

1. Because the baby's brain is not yet fully developed, sometimes a short-term "trembling phenomenon" will occur, which will generally disappear with age. Usually, pay attention to the baby's spirit, breathing, etc., and there will be no big problem.

2. The trembling legs of newborns may also be caused by calcium deficiency. If necessary, you can choose to test trace elements to confirm the diagnosis. After the diagnosis is confirmed, a treatment plan can be formulated. Children's cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution can be taken, or Diqiao calcium can be taken for treatment. If necessary, vitamin D3 injection can be injected for treatment. If there is indigestion and diarrhea, active treatment is needed to avoid affecting calcium absorption and get more sun exposure.

3. If a baby has leg tremors while sleeping, it is because the inhibitory effect of the upper nerve centers will weaken during sleep, so some lower nerve centers may become more excitable, which will manifest as some involuntary muscle movements. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not require treatment.

There are many reasons for the leg tremors in newborns, but if the leg tremors last for a long time and occur frequently with no signs of relief, parents should take their children to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to prevent abnormal leg tremors caused by abnormalities in the nervous system, and to promptly identify the causes of the leg tremors and treat them as soon as possible.
