Fearful baby

I think it sounds pretty normal mama, baby is becoming more aware of surroundings as the senses are developing. Just reassure her/him, cuddle her, speak softly, after the loud sound just to show her it’s okay. If baby is extra distressed over all kinds of normal sounds then as always, speak to your gp and follow your gut. But generally it’s normal, my babies both did the same around that age

Strong startle reflex is very normal especially as mental leaps happen and they become more aware of their surroundings :)

Thank you so much, sounds reassuring xx

Very normal - my baby was afraid of legit any sound , now over it :)
