Moro reflex is also often called startle reflex where the baby startles by some kind of loud noise, bright lights, sense of falling, or their own movements. When it triggers the child reacts immediately in various ways. Extending arms, and legs to the extreme in the air, tossing their head back, twisting arms and legs towards the body are some of them. Severe triggers can also provoke crying.
Well, these infantile reflexes are nothing to be worried about! It is very normal for newborns and considers as a sign of a healthy baby.
However, it distresses newborns' parents when the tot's sleep gets interrupted every time they startle.
