The Moro reflex is a startle reflex in infants that is triggered by a sudden loud noise, a sudden movement or a sudden change in position. The reflex causes the infant to arch their back, throw back their head, fling out their arms and legs, and then rapidly close their arms and legs. This reflex usually disappears after about 4-6 months of age.
