Shaking leg?

[Kazbah]

G'day

Patrick, now 3 weeks, has a new thing where he shakes his leg (just his left one) on occaision. Its like he's stretching but then his leg starts shaking / quivering. Any ideas if this is normal or not? Its only started happening in the past day or so.

Caty also had a jimmy-leg (coined by Kramer from Seinfeld) for a while there. It was her right one. Went on for a month or so from memory - didnt' seem to bother her though and it doesn't happen nowadays. It's weird huh? I don't think it hurts them though.

Ben's doing it with his right leg too. Sounds like it's pretty normal.

My daughter has the same thing still at 7 months, she saw a neurologist last month about something unrelated and he said it was perfectly normal!

Abbey was doing it too Kazbah. She outgrew it quickly. I noticed she mostly did it during feeds.
