👶 Ever wonder why newborns sometimes startle themselves? It’s all about their still-developing nervous system! 🍼 This sudden, involuntary reaction is called the Moro reflex (or startle reflex). It kicks in with loud noises, sudden movements, or even a feeling of falling, making those little arms flail. 😲 But no worries, this is totally normal and will fade as they grow and their nervous system matures, usually by around 3-6 months. 🌟 Want more parenting tips and insights?
