A member asked:

As my 2yofalls asleep he jerks/shakes a bit. mostly his limbs. usually a foot then the other, etc. sometimes it's more a shake that lasts 2-3 seconds.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal sleep onset: This is actually a typical reaction for anyone at any age falling asleep. As the muscles relax, there are spontaneous reflexes which typically happen at sleep onset. I do not have any reason to believe this is abnormal based on the information I have.
