Benign myoclonus
My baby is 3 months old. After birth Sometimes his leg shivers while feeding, playing or holding him and when we hold the leg it goes away. Today while he was playing, his legs were shivering and after holding it went away but when I looked at him , his body was shaking just for few seconds. It happened twice.After that he started playing again. Went to paediatrician he says it benign myoclonus and will go away by age 1. Is it something to be worried?
