Infant reflexes are automatic responses that babies exhibit in reaction to certain stimuli. These reflexes are crucial for survival and development, helping infants interact with their environment. Common examples include the Moro reflex, where a baby flings their arms out and then retracts them in response to a sudden movement or noise, and the rooting reflex, which helps infants find the breast or bottle for feeding. These reflexes typically emerge shortly after birth and gradually diminish as the baby grows and gains more voluntary control over their movements. They are an important indicator of neurological development and can help healthcare providers assess an infant's health.
