Hi dear,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. We should differentiate genetic congenital statements, delivery traum, hyperkinetic syndrome.Tremor, jitteriness and benign neonatal sleep myoclonus are frequently encountered.
Perform MRI to exclude severe statements.
I suggest to add fenibut for 1 month.. You can discuss this with your treating Doctor.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you and baby good health.
