This is an example of Moro reflex.

The Moro reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus that is usually present in all infants. It occurs as a response to unexpected loss of support, in which the infant have the perception of falling. The Moro reflex begins at birth, and usually disappears after 3 or 4 months. The Moro reflex involves three different parts which are; spreading out the arms, unspreading the arms, and crying.
