Pediatrician,  's  Response
There are different causes of twitching leg-
1.Seizures are changes in the brain’s electrical activity. This can cause dramatic, noticeable symptoms or even no symptoms at all. The symptoms of a severe seizure are often widely recognized, including violent shaking and loss of control. However, mild seizures can also be a sign of epilepsy.
2.Alkalosis is a condition in which the body fluids have excess base (alkali).
3.The hormone disorder hypoparathyroidism may also cause calcium deficiency disease and twitching.
4.Calcium deficiency disease was caused by malnutrition (starvation) and malabsorption (when body cannot absorb the vitamins and minerals it needs from the food).
I suggest-
-Consult neurologist
-Check level of Calcium in the blood
-Give to baby diet,enrich with Calcium:cheese,curd,milk,dahi,sesame seeds,spinach and etc.
