The kicking that newborns do is called "startle reflex" or "Moro reflex." It's a completely normal response that usually disappears after the first few months.
The Moro reflex is triggered by loud noises, sudden movements, or changes in position.
When the baby startles, they'll throw their arms and legs out and then quickly pull them back in. The reflex is an evolutionary holdover from when babies were born in the wild and needed to be able to protect themselves from potential threats.
