Are these jerks happening only during sleep ? Or are they happening even when she is awake . During sleep these Jerks may be a normal thing but if present while she is awake , then her calcium , vitamin D and magnesium levels need to be done . And then it's best to take her to the Pediatrician so that a physical check can also be done . Prior to the visit make a video recording of the movements to show
