**What Is the Moro Reflex? ๐ถ๐ง **
The Moro reflex, also known as the startle reflex, is a natural response seen in newborn babies. It may occur when a baby hears a sudden loud sound, experiences a sudden movement, or feels as though they are falling.
โจ **Why is the Moro reflex important?**
- It is part of typical early nervous system development.
- It usually begins to disappear by around 4โ6 months of age.
- Monitoring primitive reflexes can help professionals understand a baby's neurological and motor development.
๐ถ **When should parents seek guidance?**
If your babyโs startle response seems unusually strong, occurs asymmetrically, or persists beyond the expected age, consult your pediatrician for an assessment.
At **Origin Child Development Center**, we support children's developmental needs through individualized Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Behaviour Therapy, and Special Education.
