The walking reflex is not a reflex exhibited by healthy newborns. While newborns may exhibit a stepping reflex, where they make a stepping motion when held upright with their feet touching a surface, they are not capable of walking at this stage of development. The Moro reflex involves extending both arms outward and then bringing them back in, and the rooting reflex involves turning the head towards touch on the cheek.
