My 1 month old daughter shakes her leg for 2-3 sec. ...is this something to worry about ....if yes what should i do orits normal thi g?

Normal: The immature nervous system of infants is marked by lots of random movements in the arms and legs. This maintains the muscle tone of muscles they do not use yet and have no control over. As they age their movements become more controlled and more orderly. I would enjoy baby and watch the wonderful changes as they progress.
