moro reflex

moro reflex

My daughter will be 7 months old in one week. However, she  was born 6 weeks early. So that puts her at 5  months old and 1 week. She still appears to have moro reflex. She has seen pediatric neurologist for this as I thought that it is a seizure. During appointment my daughter did "perform" for us: she did have one of these episodes of moro reflex during appointment. Doctor said it is most definitely the moro reflex. Also prior to appointment we did EEG which was also normal. Her development is also normal (as per her pedi at 6 months appointment). Now my question. My daughter still has a moro reflex even though it does appear less profoundly than, say, 2 months ago. But it still there. On all websites it says that if moro reflex is present after 6 months (which technically my daughter is not yet) that means there is a profound neurological defect. I am very worried now as my daughter will 6 months (corrected age) in less than 3 weeks. Is 3 weeks enough to get over this reflex? Should I be worried now? Thanks so much.
Very worried mom of premature baby.
