Moro is unresponsive

This is a full body movement that is best seen when the baby is lying on its back. Sudden stimuli, such as the sudden appearance of gunshots or other loud sounds, or putting a baby in a crib, etc., can cause startle reflexes. When a startle reflex occurs, the baby's arms are straight, its fingers are spread, its back is stretched or bent, its head is tilted back, its legs are straight, and its arms are folded.
