Over the past 24 hours, my 10 week old son has begun showing an exaggerated startle reflex, though there is no external stimuli that we can determine.
He will be sleeping peacefully in a cradle, swing or in my arms, and about 2 to 5 minutes after falling asleep, he will fling his arms out and begin screaming as though he is terrified.
What could this be caused by?
I don't think that obstructive apnea is a problem, as that would have manifested earlier, and initiated less drastically.
Any Ideas as to how to help the poor little guy?
