My daughter will be 2 on November 15 and I have noticed that when I wake her up weather it is from a nap or in the morning she is very shakey. The other day I got her up and she went to grab her food to eat it and was literally shaking as she put the food in her mouth. Her whole body shakes and the longest I have seen it last is up to 5 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this is know if this is normal? Thanks

My daugther did and still does this sometimes. She has been to several pediatric specialists over her lifetime due to her being born premature at just 26 weeks. Like Eliz, I noticed slower waking habits helped her and also like Izzy, my daughter has a lot of eating problems with her digestive system due to her prematurity that she was not getting enough protein and such. So we gave her pediasure after dinner and this has been a huge help!

My daughter did that as well..I just searched this because I found an old video i made to show her dr. of her so shaky trying to eat also..it has mostly resolved now but she does need too eat protein before bed and sleep in..no naps anymore because of this too. I had her urine tested first thing in the morning and it had high amts of keytones..they said it looked like a starving child! She has a metabolism that goes fast..also she has apraxia of speech as well.

I would definitely talk to your doctor. Her blood sugar levels might be getting really low when she sleeps. Maybe try giving her a snack right before nap/bed time and see if that helps?

Sometimes my little boy gets the shakes, expecially when he wakes up suddenly. I try to wake him soothingly so as not to startle him awake. I would ask the pediatrician about it if its lasting a long time and happens more often than not.
