This reflex happens when you firmly stoke the sole of the baby’s foot. The baby’s big toe moves upward or toward the top of the foot and the other toe fans out.
A. Babinski reflex
B. Moro reflex
C. Rooting reflex
D. Sucking reflex
A. Babinski reflex
Also called as the startle reflex, usually occurs when a baby gets startled by a loud sound, sudden movement or intense light. As a response to the trigger, the baby suddenly lifts the arms and legs, curl them back toward the body and then throw the head back. Your baby’s own cry may also startle him/her and trigger this reflex.
A. Babinski reflex
B. Moro reflex
C. Rooting reflex
D. Sucking reflex
B. Moro reflex
This reflex occurs when the infant’s cheek is stroked, or the side of the mouth is touched. When triggered, you will notice that the baby will turn his/her head and open his/her mouth to follow in the direction of the stroking. this helps the baby find the breast or bottle and also helps prepare him/her to suck.
A. Babinski reflex
B. Moro reflex

C. Rooting reflex
This reflex occurs after the rooting reflex, when the roof of your baby’s mouth is stimulated.
