Newborn babies have a variety of different reflexes, is it possable that the baby was startled? Your baby can be startled by a variety of different things every sensation is new to them. If baby was startled they will throw out their arms and legs and then start crying. To prevent this you can swaddle your baby in receiving blankets. It will make baby feel more secure.
• Lay a blanket on a flat surface and fold down the top-right corner about 6 inches.
• Place your baby on his back with his head on the fold.
• Pull the corner near your baby's left hand across his body, and tuck the leading edge under his back on the right side under the arm.
• Pull the bottom corner up under your baby's chin.
• Bring the loose corner over your baby's right arm and tuck it under the back on his left side. Some babies prefer to have their arms free, so you may prefer to swaddle your child under the arms so he has access to his hands and fingers.

Sleep is a new sensation to a newborn baby, so they wake up frightened because they don't know what's happening. My midwife told me that
