The plural of infant is infants, meaning more than one infant.

Rooting Reflex
"Infants" does not have an apostrophe because it is a plural noun that does not require possession or contraction. If you wanted to show possession, you could use "infants'" (infants' blankets) or if you wanted to create a contraction, it would be "infant's" (infant's diaper).
The rooting reflex is most evident when an infant's cheek is stroked. The baby responds by turning his or her head in the direction of the touch and opening their mouth for feeding.
