Mom of a 4 yr old girl3 years ago

Q.

I have read that infants startle in their sleep. I have a month n a half old baby and startles every few seconds in her sleep and wakes up crying. this happens mainly during night. Is there a reason why babies startle so much and if there is a way to help reduce it?
