The rooting reflex is a natural instinct for newborn babies to turn their heads when their cheeks are touched. This helps them find a nipple or bottle for feeding. The Moro reflex is a startle reflex where a baby flings their arms out and then quickly brings them back in. The grasping reflex is when a baby's hand will grip onto anything that touches their palm. The sucking reflex is when a baby will suck on anything placed in their mouth.
