My baby is 12 days old and sometimes when he is in sleep, he starts shaking hands and legs and it continued until he is sleeping. I am not clear why it is happening.

It's normal, called at jitterniess. If the shaking stops when you hold the hand/leg then nothing to worry. If it's otherwise then you need to urgently visit your pediatrician. Also make a video of the movements, it will help in diagnosing the condition.
