What Causes Occasional Upper Body Tremors?

My 6 month old infant daughter has occasional upper body tremors. I first noticed this about two months ago and initially thought she was shivering from being cold. The tremors usually occur when she is sleeping during breast-feeding and last about 20 seconds. Should I be concerned?

Hello
Kindly make a video recording of the tremors and send me on
dr.YYYYYYYYYYYY@YYYYYYY.com
Also kindly give me the detailed history regarding seizures in your family.
For me,it seems pretty normal.But get a baseline serum calcium level done of your child.
Come back to me with the history,video and the lab result.
Hope it will help :-)
