Do you mean startle reflex? It’s normal for babies to have startle reflex. It’s better to swaddle her so she can learn to self-soothe to sleep. You are right that it can wake her up without swaddling and it can become a bad habit.. end up you have to do it even during toddler years. You’ll feel like crying every night.. learn from our lesson. Let her cry and get used to it, good if you use pacifier for her to suckle and soothe herself too

My LO will struggle as well if we swaddling her when she awake..So, we try another way, when she almost fall to deep sleep, then wrap her with fast speed then hug awhile then put to bed...use zipped swaddle..

You can try a zipped swaddle! The traditional one didn’t work for her cos she would move and her arm would come out. With the zipped one can still move at least but helps!

Yea get her used to it try when she’s in a good mood
