Periodic breathing is normal.if baby breaths more than 40 times per minute then there might be something wrong.
Fast breathing after feeding is normal.
For shivers calcium supplementation might be required

Small babies have what is called periodic breathing,i.e,they'll take fast breaths for some time,and then breath slowly,it's normal.
But if breathing is continuously rapid,OR accompanied by other symptoms like wheezing or whistling sounds in the breathing or coughing or fever or dullness and refusal to feed,consult your paediatrician asap.
Shivering too,is normal IF it stops on gently holding the legs when it's shivering.
If it doesn't stop on holding,consult your paediatrician.
