Brief Answer:
This is a normal phenomenon - please do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi..... bladder sensation which we adults feel with full urine is perceived by newborns of this age as abnormal sensation. So at this age the only way of expression the babies will have is crying. It does not mean that they have pain while passing urine. Once the baby passes urine, immediately they will stop crying as the bladder fullness sensation will be relieved. This is a physiological phenomena and do not worry about this. Once the baby's brain learns that this is fullness of bladder sensation the babies will stop crying.

Brief Answer:
Shaking hands while crying is common - Don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi.....shaking hands while crying is common in such young babies. Do not worry. But if there is staring look or uprolling of eyes while shaking hands, kindly approach nearest emergency room as it might be suggestive of seizures.
