Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rooting reflex is the one that guides a baby's mouth to the nipple by prompting them to turn their head and open their mouth when something touches or strokes their cheek or mouth area. The sucking reflex is what enables the baby to suck and swallow milk once they have latched onto the nipple, while the Moro reflex is a startle reflex and the grasping reflex causes the baby to grasp onto an object placed in their palm. Therefore, the best choice is B, the rooting reflex.
