It sounds like jitteriness. Which can be due to decreased calcium level . Please visit your pediatrician for evaluation and treatment

I think it's Jitterness, a shaking movement that stop on holding. It's normal. But Go for screening test like calcium, vitamin d, thyroid etc Dr Chandan Barnwal Child Specialist Ranchi Jharkhand
