Recently I've noticed that my 2 month old gets scarred (gets stiff) when she's laying on her back. She plays for a while and is fine, after a while she'll pick up her hands and legs and cries. Is this normal? thanks, first time mom
I think what you're seeing is the startle reflex. It looks like all of a sudden someone scared the baby. It's normal in babies and main reason for swaddling. Google startle reflex.
Re: scarred baby
Is there a reason you think she's scared? She's probably just tired of playing.
