Your baby should be swaddled with their arms in for sleeping until they're rolling learn about transitioning to arms-out sleeping. Swaddling calms this jerking movement while keeping your mini comfortable and content. A loud noise, a sudden bright light, movement or even a parent laughing can trigger the reflex. It is entirely normal and begins in the first trimester in utero. It is a jerk in their bodies that can occur every 20 minutes in some babies.
