Vitamin d and zincovit
My baby is 10 weeks old. I was giving my baby girl 1ml vitamin d3 and zincovit during first month. In 2nd month one doctor advised to give her only 0.5 ml of vitamin d3 and zincovit 0.5 ml. And I gave the same 0.5 ml. Past 3 days I stopped both the supplements as she was taking cough and cold syrups. From last 2 days I am noticing my baby's any one leg sometimes shaking for few seconds. Is it due to this sudden supplement drop in vitamin d and zincovit or is it something serious?? (Note: she is not shaking due to cold because I keep her so warm in a heated room). Can someone please help. I am worried

First of all supplement stoppage will not lead to this shaking. And to know whether the baby is having just jitteriness or something else which is concerning, contact a paediatrian. If possible do make a video of the movement.

Most probably your baby is just jittery.It is a normal phenomenon and nothing needs to be done.It is unrelated to intake of supplements.Howevrr there could be other causes too..since she is having infection and is on medicines..Before disregarding it as jitteriness other more serious causes like fits and drug overdose need to be considered.
Next Steps
Ensure that your baby is not too drowsy and is feeding well.Online consultationmight help in ensuring that its just jitteriness

There can be normal shaking at this age. Usually no need to worry. Just stopping supplements for a few days will not lead to this. Wait for a few days. It should go away. If not better, you can meet a pediatrician
