The Moro reflex is a startle reflex that is seen in infants. It occurs in response to a sudden loss of support or a loud sound, causing the baby to throw their arms out, arch their back, and then bring their arms together as if to hold onto something. This reflex typically disappears around 4 to 6 months of age.
