Moro reflex and started crying

Baby keeps waking up due to Moro reflex and cry like crazy. Should I pick her up everytime this happens or let her calm herself down. Baby is W3 now.

Definitely try to soothe her by picking her up rocking patting, baby is far too young to learn to self soothe. It's important to let baby know she's safe and someone is there to protect her. Moro reflex will go away on its own eventually.

Yes, please carry your baby! Babies this young cannot self soothe or calm themselves down. To prevent moro reflex, can try to swaddle her or get a swaddle bag.

Perhaps swaddle may help her. Else if she should cry, pls carry her up and let her know that u’ll be there for her :)

I swaddled tightly before putting down. That helped tremendously

My baby doesn’t use air con either:) there are thin swaddles like the muslin type. Actually I also bought the zip kind of swaddles and they worked extremely well. Baby’s not sweaty at all
