What Causes Twitching Of Leg During Sleep?
My son is 7 months old. While he is sleeping, his legs and arms sometimes twitch a lot. And it is not like the deep sleep twitch. He also has done this when he was sitting in my lap resting. Could this be serious? I hate to bring him to his Ped. for twitching if its nothing.

Hi,
This may happen in a child with calcium deficiency. You should start him on it as soon as possible. Also, observe the child if along with twitching he has other symptoms too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pranoti Jadhao, Pediatrician
