Startle reflex-2parts

Ha • Tue, May 03

Hey!!!

This is baby 3 for me but they are all spread apart. 12, 5, and 2 week old. This little one has a giant startle reflex…does yours? Her arms go straight up and legs out straight. What have you done to help them stay asleep?

Also, I’m having a very hard time getting her to sleep by herself at all. I put her in her bassinet and she wakes. I’m terrified of SIDS and needing some ideas to help her stay in her space especially when I’m exhausted.
