∙ 15y agoThree Common Reflexes as they relate to newborns.
* In the Moro reflex, when newborns are startled, their arms and legs swing out and forward in a slow movement with fingers outstretched.
* In the rooting reflex, when either side of their mouth is touched, newborns turn their head toward that side. This reflex enables newborns to find the nipple.
* In the sucking reflex, when an object is placed in their mouth, newborns begin sucking immediately.
