The Moro Reflex
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: The Moro reflex, also known as the “startle” reflex, occurs when infants lose support of their head. Infants grimace and reach their arms outward and then inward in a hugging motion. This may be a protective reflex that allows the infant to hold on to the mother when support is suddenly lost.
