The rooting reflex is a natural reflex that is exhibited by infants when their cheek is stroked, they turn their head towards that side in order to search for something to suck. This reflex helps newborns find their mother's breast for feeding. The Moro reflex is an involuntary startle reflex, the grasping reflex is a response of the infant's hand when an object is placed in their palm, and the sucking reflex is the automatic reaction of sucking in response to putting something in their mouth.
