You need: a complete evaluation of the problem but its a fact that many newborns have "jerking" or "startling" moments. Its the result of an immature nervous system and passes with time. Hope this helps and Congratulations on your new "arrival"! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Normal Blood Sugar : Blood sugar is normal. This may be benign myoclonus, which is a normal jerking that we see in babies. In general, benign myoclonus is found upon falling asleep and during sleeping. A class of seizure disorders characteristically is associated with jerking UPON awakening. An experienced pediatrician needs to observe. Video episodes and bring 2 a visit. I am happy to view in a prime consult.
