[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 257324, member: 1233"] I had babies who did this, though not quite as badly. It is a very normal thing in babies. With Wiz we made the mistake of having the house be VERY quiet while he napped, then he couldn't nap if ANY noises were on in the house. It took several MONTHS to work that out. Jessie had major allergy problems as an infant and had to sleep in her carseat. We had a babyswing that the carseat sat into. We didn't have it on, but had her strapped into the seat and placed there so she couldn't fall or be bothered by Wiz or the cat. She would startle so much she would start rocking! It was pretty amazing, but she usually didn't wake up. thank you startled so much he woke himself up. Even in a silent house he woke himself up! But i didn't make the other kids be super quiet when he napped and he got to the point that he napped through anything. Each one of my kids has significant sensory problems. Not sure if they are related to the startle reflex or not. But the startling shouldn't hurt the baby at all. [/QUOTE]
