Some babies are born with B12 deficiencies. This typically happens when the mother is also, but also if the expectant mother was vegan.
There are also B6 dependency issues that can cause seizures in babies... the restlessness may be a minor form of this.
Quote:
Strict vegetarians and vegans are at greater risk than lacto-ovo vegetarians and nonvegetarians of developing vitamin B12 deficiency because natural food sources of vitamin B12 are limited to animal foods [5]. Fortified breakfast cereals are one of the few sources of vitamin B12 from plants and can be used as a dietary source of vitamin B12 for strict vegetarians and vegans.
Pregnant and lactating women who follow strict vegetarian diets and their infants
Vitamin B12 crosses the placenta during pregnancy and is present in breast milk. Exclusively breastfed infants of women who consume no animal products may have very limited reserves of vitamin B12 and can develop vitamin B12 deficiency within months of birth [5,43]. Undetected and untreated vitamin B12 deficiency in infants can result in severe and permanent neurological damage.
The American Dietetic Association recommends supplemental vitamin B12 for vegans and lacto-ovo vegetarians during both pregnancy and lactation to ensure that enough vitamin B12 is transferred to the fetus and infant [44]. Pregnant and lactating women who follow strict vegetarian or vegan diets should consult with a pediatrician regarding vitamin B12 supplements for their infants and children [5].

There also are sensory integration disorders in children. This can be helped by adding choline to the diet, which then improves acetylcholine in the nervous system.

Does she fuss at socks, or loose slipon slippers too?
I'd check the feet to see if any rashes are there. Any redness, etc? Might be something she picked up, like athlete's foot fungus or contact dermatitis from soap residues in clothing or
on the floor? Any rashes anyplace else on the body? Allergies of any kind?
