A newborn reflex. This reflex begins by extention of the baby's arms, fingers, and legs while arching their back and throwing their head back, then quickly bringing arms back into the chest with fists clenched. At times it resembles an attempt by the baby to embrace someone. It is present for 2-4 months and occurs when babies hear a sudden loud noise or feel like they are falling.
