Patient's question:
The baby is six months old, and the startle reflex has not disappeared yet. The baby sleeps very little during the day, waking up every 20 minutes. During the day, the baby usually naps four times. At night, the baby sleeps well in deep sleep without any startle reflex. At birth, the baby choked and required forceps assistance from the midwife. The baby is very lively and has very sensitive eyes and ears. The baby can grab things and amuse people. The baby may wear too many clothes and cannot jump freely, but the baby can roll over while holding onto one hand. The fontanel is a bit large, with the pediatrician noting 2.5×2.5. Is this condition normal for the baby?Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is not a big problem. You can focus on giving the baby vitamin D, in addition to calcium. When the weather is good, spend more time exposing the baby to sunlight. The condition you mentioned is also related to the baby's underdeveloped nervous system and growth. It is recommended that you do not worry too much, as the baby's condition is not a big issue. Focus on giving the baby vitamin D, in addition to calcium. The baby's startle reflex may be due to the underdeveloped nervous system and growth, but it will improve as the baby gets older.
