hi there
I would have thought that is a baby had sensory PN she would be extremely distressed and screaming a lot due to the pain or, if she had numb feet, would have balance issues, injuries to her feet that she didn't notice happening etc etc. Rubbing feet together in my experience of neuropathy would not be a usual response either to the pain (extreme pain) of neuropathy, or to numbness. I have experienced both pain and numbness over the course of my disease, and the thought of rubbing anything against a part of my body that was experiencing neuropathic pain would be excruciating (even a sheet brushing against my hands or feet was excruciating). My feet are now numb and well, they just don't feel anything, so no need to rub them against anything.
Restless legs makes more sense to me too, though I am not sure if it affects babies. I have not heard of neuropathy causing restless leg type symptoms (though I am the first to admit am not an expert on PN), but it's not something that I have heard of. So, whatever is affecting the poor wee girl, it really doesn't sound a lot like PN to me.
I do hope you find out what is going on, please keep us updated about what the neurologist says.
best wishes
