Occasionally his hands/arms shake I think when he tries to reach for a toy and maybe gets excited. Im not 100 % sure if its his hands or arms or both because it's not all the time. I will tell our pediatrician but do you know what it is? should I be worried???

Can you describe the shaking a bit more? my baby does this all the time and I know it's an early sign of autism. it's called stimming. google it.

I googled it, but thats not what my baby does. he doesnt flap his hands etc. Its just a little shaking as he tries to grab something..

"What to expect the first year" says that slight shaking when excited is nothing to be worried about. but I would definitely mention it to your doctor.

Do not get alarmed. It might be low muscle tone. Mention it to your ped.
