Q. My baby gets startled very easily. Cooker whistle, mixer noise, even if someone sneezes or coughs in his vicinity he’ll get startled. My MIL suggests that we should be loud near me so he gets used to noise and doesn’t get startled. Can someone suggest if this is expected behaviour or something wrong with my baby.
