I just notice that my 5 month old twitch only while sleeping. it usually involves leg, an arm, shoulder or eyelid or mouth. do i need to worry?

Probably normal: Many younger babies have these twitchings as they go into various stages of sleep. If it is this type of twtiching called sleep myoclonus it will stop in the next several months. Contact your doctor if you notice increased twitching while awake
