Hello, moms
Two days ago, a girlfriend asked Jun's mother
When her baby slept
Suddenly there is a phenomenon of "jumping"
Although Jun's mother had popularized this knowledge to her before
But she was still a little flustered
Presumably a lot of novice moms
There will be the same confusion as her
Today, Jun Mama specially did some tidying up
Hope that helps
What is the newborn jumping reaction
What is the startle reflex, which may not be familiar to everyone, is a whole-body action, especially when the baby is lying down.
The startle reflex is one of the instincts of newborn babies, and the performance of the startle reflex is this: sudden noise stimulation, or being violently put on the bed, the newborn immediately straightens his arms, opens his fingers, arches his back, tilts his head back, and straightens his legs.
When does the baby jump disappear
Jumping reflex is popularly speaking, it refers to a symptom that the baby shows when it is frightened or stimulated, which is an instinctive performance, but it does not exist for a long time, so when will the baby jump disappear?
The startle reflex is a transient reflex in the neonatal period. Normally, reflexes disappear naturally at 3-4 months after birth.
To reduce the risk of baby's startle reflex symptoms, make sure your baby is sleeping on his back. By the time of the full moon, your baby may have developed a routine of eating and sleeping, but don't force him to follow the rules, you should always feed him, of course, preferably before he cries.
Newborns are most likely to have a startle reflex, which occurs when some babies sleep, but it is easy to disappear after a few months.
What to do if the startle reflex is serious
Generally speaking, the jumping reflex is not too serious and will disappear on its own, but there are also cases that do not disappear for several months, so what if the baby's jumping reflex is serious?
If these reflexes occur in the newborn, or if they do not disappear in the first 3-4 months of life, they are indicators that require our intervention.
Lesions that occur with the startle reflex:
Present more than 4 months: possible neuropathy.
More than 6 months still exists: there must be neuropathy.
Asymmetric upper extremity reactions: hemiplegia, brachial plexus injury, clavicle or humerus fracture.
Disappearance of lower extremity reactions: injury to the lower spinal cord and congenital acetabular dislocation disappear within 3 to 4 months.
Jun's mother warm reminder
Here Jun Mom wants to remind you that although the jumping reflex is an instinctive action, if it is serious, it must be treated in time, but the mothers do not have to panic, and the baby's health will not be affected in time for treatment. If you encounter any problems, you can always leave a message to Jun Mama!
