    Every now and then, DD does this thing where her legs shake really fast...it's almost a vibration. It's so weird and cracks me up. I think it's just another baby reflex that happens randomly as they're learning about their bodies.

    This - I've seen DS do it twice.

  • I don't know what causes it either but it usually happens when DS is stretching out his leg. I notice it mostly when we're BFing or changing a diaper and he extends his legs out completely. Glad to hear he's not the only one. Smile
  • I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but little dude's body will randomly  shake. The doctor told me to stop it you put your hand and his body. If he doesn't stop, then it's a more serious problem.
  • Like other ladies have said, it makes me giggle and usually happens while I am changing DS.

  • I was going to ask the pedi when I go Thursday...Gavin does it occasionally typically whey he is eating or being changed.  It doesn't last long but of course as a new mom you worry.  :)  Thanks for all your posts :)

  • My LO does it when she is stretching and I just can't help but laugh and call her "Thumper"! lol

  • I think this is totally normal as their nervous system develops.  Mine does it all the time and I don't worry. 
  • Liam does when he's stretching mainly, but then, Mommy's legs do that when I stretch sometimes too Big Smile
