Does the infant startle response need intervention?

It is normal for a baby to show a startle reaction. Parents do not need to intervene. They can gently touch the baby's back or shoulder to calm the baby's frightened emotions. Generally, babies show a startle reaction mostly because of a lack of security. This is a common occurrence among many babies. Parents do not need to worry too much or interfere with the baby. If the baby does not wake up when he is sleeping, parents should try not to wake up the baby, because the baby is sleeping at this time, suddenly waking up will affect the baby's sleep quality, and the baby will sleep very unstably for a long time.
