Keep under strict observation

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM

My dear,

Thanks for sending your query to us.

In the early stages of life neuronal pathways are being established and during this period such abarent movements are common and they disappear in due course of time. So do not worry about this and ideally this should go off in a week's time.

Still keep this under observation and if any further development ideally a pediatrician can be consulted but is not needed now.

Please do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard
