Hello. As long as your baby is playful, it should not be a concern . Licking fingers is normal too. Just continue vitamin D drops . If still  it looks daunting and continues for long, get a direct examination by a pediatrician for better management.

Licking toes and fingers is normal milestone. Shivering while stretching leg is also normal but if it persists consult a pediatrician. He may need calcium supplements. Continue vitamin d3 drops as advised by your pediatrician.
