The Babinski reflex is a normal reflex in infants, where stroking the sole of their foot leads to fanning out of the toes and twisting in of the foot. This reflex disappears as the child grows older and is replaced by a different response. The Moro reflex is another infant reflex, where the baby reacts to sudden movements or loud noises by arching their back, extending their arms and legs, and then bringing them back in. The rooting reflex is when the baby turns their head towards any touch on their cheek or mouth, usually in an effort to find a nipple for feeding. The swimming reflex is when an infant naturally holds their breath and paddles their arms and legs when submerged in water.
