I hate the startle/moro reflex!!!!

Gretchen

Just when I think he is asleep for good and put him in the crib, bam! His reflex gets triggered by his dropping hand or relaxing body. Lately, it has happened more than usual....even with swaddle and white noise. He won't tolerate arms being wrapped.

After wake up and ebf-ing later in the night, he is better at self-soothing when the reflex wakes him up....but never for the initial putting down. What a pain! Any one else having the same issue with this reflex?
