The walking reflex is not exhibited by healthy newborns. While newborns have reflexes such as the Moro reflex (also known as the startle reflex), which is an involuntary reaction to a sudden change in their environment, and the rooting reflex, which helps them find and latch onto their mother's breast for feeding, they do not have the ability to walk or even stand at this early stage of development. The stepping reflex, also known as the walking or dance reflex, is present in newborns but disappears after the first few months of life.
