A member asked:

My son is 10 days old and twitches multiple times a day is this an issue i should bring up at his next appointment or more immediately?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Next appointment: As long as he's eating well, wetting well, stooling well, gaining weight, and otherwise appears normal. I always advise new parents that newborns may twitch and appear to startle over nothing. This is often just a sign of an immature nervous system. If it's excessive or interferes with feeding/breathing/sleeping etc., then see your pediatrician for an exam and reassurance.
