Moro Reflex

Primitive Reflexes - 1/8

The Moro Reflex is present at birth! In months 2-4 the Moro Reflex should naturally integrate or disappear. The Moro Reflex is a natural protective response that stimulates our Fight or Flight reaction and the sympathetic nervous system response.

When this reflex fails to integrate it can impact the child or adult for years to come. We want to know things to be aware of to identify were there may be signs of retention in the child.

Some common signs of Moro Reflex retention include:

• Hypersensitivity to one or more sensory systems

• Vestibular deficits - such as motion sickness, poor coordination, and balance

• Oculomotor and visual-perceptual problems

• Poor pupillary reactions to light

• Hypersensitivity to auditory input

• Allergies and lowered immunity

• Adverse drug reactions

• Poor stamina

• Poor adaptability

• Reactive hypoglycemia.
