Explanation

"Moro" in the context of medicine usually refers to the Moro reflex, which is a normal response in newborn babies. This reflex is a startle response that babies have when they feel like they're falling or when they're startled by a loud sound or sudden movement. The baby will quickly stretch out their arms and legs and then pull them back in. This reflex typically disappears around 3 to 6 months of age as the baby's nervous system matures.
