-how common is the hypocalcemic tetany on day 1 of life ?

A detailed history of this NB:
born full term didnot cry for 10 min after birth required BMV for 5
minutes.
no significant maternal history.
had intermittent tachypnea upto 100/min especially following
stimulation.
both these signs responded after IM Mg therapy.
can it be only vit d deficiency? HIE? IDM?
Maternal hyperparathroidism?

I had seen this on day 1 NB; for first time~
