Startle reflex after 6 months

Hello!
Wonder if anyone else's baby had startled reflex after 6 months. He only does it when he's asleep.
Other than that, he's developing well.
Thank you!

Is it the startle reflex @Hhdxxor are they occasionally twitching in their sleep, which a lot of people do? Smile

@BunnyRuddington it looks like the startled reflex as his arms go out.

@BunnyRuddington I have done and she said to see a doctor who didn't seem concerned at all and I showed him videos?
