The rhythmic nursing that occurs when a nipple touches an infant's mouth is known as the sucking reflex. The rooting reflex refers to the infant turning their head and opening their mouth in response to touch near their cheek, while the grasping reflex is the infant's tendency to grip objects placed in their palm. The Moro reflex is a startle response in which an infant throws their arms out and then pulls them back in.
