A baby can wake up from 3 to 4 times per night depending on how old it is and how its eating routine is but waking up screaming may be a sign of a serious problem which you have to resolve soon. This is my third pregnancy and I dont remember feeling this with my other two.
My 5 month old baby has had a similar head shaking thing.
Baby shakes when waking up. Growing older there is also something called infantile spasms which often occur when the baby is about to fall asleep or wake up maybe this is what is happening to your baby. Babies can also get excited and shake or tremble when trying really hard to reach something or. If their is a loud sound or they are woken up the will shake some kids will do of only for a moment and some for a few mind after it just depends how sensitive your baby is.
So dont worry and enjoy your little one. I am glad my baby isnt the only shivery baby when waking up. I shake when I am shockedscared so maybe we are just a family who shake lots.
I think it must be scary for them if they wake from a nap and they are in a cafe when they went to sleep on the bus especially if they cant see mummy right away I would be scared if I woke up in a random place all alone. Yes my baby does this sometimes. I often find her sitting up in her cot awake after a nap and shell be a bit of out of it and shaking.
By shaking its more of a shudderingtremble I guess. Hard to explain I have always attributed it to her slowly waking up. My 4 year old also will wake up in the middle of night and shakeslike he has low blood sugar.
It does look like a very mild seizure but he is awake and aware of being awakedefinitly not a night terror and can focus and talk to me with no problemsi will give him a few sips of OJ. As im not sure exactly what is causing thisand it lasts for aout 15-30 sec. And he will lay back down and go back to sleepthis.
Its very typical for it to present between 4-12 months of age and seizurues occur upon waking it looks like baby is doing the startle reflex arms up legs out head drops and back arches not all of these necessarily appear together it doesnt sound like your lo has this but can I suggest you visit a dr first thing tomorrow. My son is 13 months old and I had the same issue as you and I also want some awnsers on this. I had the test done at hospital when he was a baby for seziures and that came up negitive but i am still seeing it when he wakes up at night but more so when I wake him up.
Its not a lot of shaking but still enough to be concered about. Baby Help Line. Baby Shaking When Waking Up.
Have you ever experienced that when you have just fallen asleep you dream that you are falling. Then you wake up with a jump. That may very well have been what happened to your baby.
Some babies also have a slightly immature nervous system which may cause shaking. And it can even get worst. Some children even tantrum for quite some time as their body wakes up yelling No go away kicking screaming wont take a bottle to calm down combative fighting smacking at you.
Even this is normal. For some it can take up to around 45 minutes to an hour of this screaming and fighting. He wakes up and then his whole body shakes for about 30 seconds.
He seems kind of out of it when it happens until its winding down. So I dunno hes just started this lately. If it is it might mean she needs medical attention but try feeding her before she naps and see if she doesnt wake up as jittery.
If it does help Id say a doc is needed to see why and im sorry you dont have insurance. That does make life alot harder. I hope its nothing serious tho.

Baby was shaking while eating. My mom told me yesterday that when she was feeding my son he fell asleep and then started shaking as if he was having a seizure. It scared her so she took the bottle out of his mouth and still shook so she started patting.
My 5 month old baby has had a similar head shaking thing. I would describe it as a head tremor an involuntary rapid vibrating or shaking of his head and shoulders that was almost like a seizure. It has happened twice both times while he was nursing and lasted no more than a minute.

Babies tend to suddenly shake shudder shiver or display movements that appear like tremors. These happen for a few reasons. Some babies involuntarily start to shake all over when they get excited when they see someone they know or when they set their eyes on a toy that they like.
Feels like the shakes last for 3 seconds or less but it is still very concerning to me. This is my third pregnancy and I dont remember feeling this with my other two. I brought it up to my OB and he said it could just be a reflex from baby waking up in utero or we will just have to wait and see when hes born to see whats going on with him.
