The rooting reflex is a natural reflex that babies are born with. When the baby's cheek is touched, the baby will automatically turn their head in the direction of the touch, mouth open, and look for the nipple to start breastfeeding. The gag reflex is a reflex that protects the airway from foreign objects. The sucking reflex is another natural reflex that helps babies feed. And the startle reflex is a reflex where a sudden noise or movement causes the baby to fling their arms and legs out and then quickly retract them.
