Increased startle reflex 😱

Rhiannon

My 10 weeks old baby has had increased freak outs from the startle reflex. He will be sitting in his bouncer and all of a sudden look terrified, turn red, arms waving tensely, and once he’s done looking like he’s falling he SHRIEKS in fright. If I catch him doing this I run over and put a comforting hand on him and he snaps out of it. But I’m just worried, I thought these reflexes were supposed to lessen with age.
