Trembling hands after nap time?

kjsmith9 · August 2013

Anyone else notice this with their LO?

During the past week or so, I've noticed maybe 2 or 3 times that DD has shaky hands for maybe 5-10 seconds after I get her out of the crib when she wakes up. I've never really noticed it before...

Normal baby thing? Immature nervous system? I've googled a bit but haven't found much. Other than those 5-10 seconds, she's totally fine.

Maybe she's just anxious until you hold her?

I've seen DD do it before, though have no idea what causes it. :-/

DD's hands shake anytime/everytime she is excited about something. I never thought to be concerned about it - she is just very excitable! Could your LO just be really happy that you're picking her up?

This would be my guess too. My DD shakes a lot as we put her tray on her highchair at meal times. To outsiders it's concerning to see but my DH and I don't worry about it bc we've learned that she just gets really excited for food!
