My baby is two months old, and his/her feet sometimes tremble. Why is that?
Disease description:
I don't know what's going on either; my baby's feet often tremble involuntarily. No abnormalities were found during the physical examination. I'd like to ask what might be causing this?

Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Two-month-old babies may experience foot tremors, which could be caused by incomplete nervous system development, environmental stimuli, excessive fatigue, calcium deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, or other related factors.
1. Incomplete nervous system development: At two months of age, a baby's nervous system is still underdeveloped, making them prone to nervous excitement and muscle twitching.
2. Environmental stimuli: If the baby is exposed to excessively high or low temperatures, or experiences insect bites, these environmental factors may lead to foot tremors.
3. Excessive fatigue: Frequent playing or crying can cause physical exhaustion in babies, which may result in foot twitching or trembling.
4. Calcium deficiency: In breastfed babies, insufficient calcium intake by the mother may lead to calcium deficiency in the baby.
5. Vitamin deficiency: Deficiencies in B vitamins, folic acid, and other nutrients can easily cause symptoms in babies.
