Moro reflex When an infant is startled suddenly by jarring the crib or making a loud noise, the infant abducts and extends the arms and legs. This reflex, called the Moro reflex, is present at birth, but disappears by 4 months of age. If the nurse observed the Moro reflex in an infant as old as 6 months, this could indicate severe central nervous system injury and would warrant immediate attention. The sucking reflex, Babinski reflex, and tonic neck reflex are normal findings in a 6-month-old infant and would not be a cause for concern. The sucking reflex disappears at the age of 10 to 12 months. The Babinski reflex is present at birth and disappears by 24 months of age. The tonic neck reflex disappears by 4 to 6 months of age.
