When do babies stop with the Morrow reflex????
It kind of breaks my heart, she will do it mostly when she is on the changing table and looks like she is scared to death and reaches way out to grab 
I know it is a natural thing, but geezzz!!!! I hate the look on her face!

I don't drop her head down to fast on the table either I already thought of that...lol

It sticks around for a few months...it's why newborns like to be swaddled so much. That sudden loss of tightness (like when she's set down to be changed and is exposed) does it.

At 11 weeks I gave noticed it's much less pronounced in my baby. Sometimes if I know she is likely to be startled I kind of pin her hands to her chest and it seems to help.

@FaithFertility: this doesn't answer your question but you can avoid kicking the morrow reflex in by setting baby down via their side. So with one hand you hold on to baby's head with the other you hold baby and turn them once they're situated on the change pad/in the crib etc.

As they increase truncal tone and head control, you'll see the Moro fade away.
