yes, they can get really startled by that, but with ours I have noticed that she seems to even get spooked by the temperature of the mattress sometimes. it can help to gently hold their arms and legs still for a minute after putting them down because they fling them all around and wake themselves up

Thank you for this! I don't know how I will manage when my little one arrives but these tips will be invaluable in what I assume will be trial and error.
