Patient's question:
At four months, does the baby often get scared and become stunned? My baby is just five days away from turning five months old, and today he was particularly fussy. I accidentally shouted, and he jumped in surprise. Please ask the doctor if it will scare him badly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby is four months old. If the sound is a bit louder, they might jump in surprise, but it's okay. This is a common phenomenon for newborns. The situation you mentioned is not a big deal, as many children experience this. It's considered easy to be startled, which may also be related to a lack of trace elements. You can have them tested to see if there's a deficiency and supplement accordingly if needed. There are no other major issues, but make sure the environment isn't too quiet.
