If she is a newborn, this could be her startle response to loud noise!
Next Steps
You can calm her if she is a newborn by restraining with your palms her soles or by some light compression of her chest or by putting her both hands together!
Health Tips
Do visit for a complete physical examination if she persists to do so or movements are not restrainable!
