What age does a baby outgrow newborn reflexes?
Newborn reflexes start to disappear as soon as they are no longer needed; while all babies are born with the same survival reflexes - their responses to the stimulation is very individual to his or her inborn temperament.
Morrow reflex: Anyone watching a newborn has seen this reflex in action, a loud noise or rough handling causes baby to startle, arching his back and throwing his arms and legs straight and crying out. Then he will pull in his arms and legs against his body. Most babies are further upset by their own response. Placing your hand gently against the baby's chest and tummy will help to soothe him, as will holding him against your body. A sensitive baby who startles frequently maybe more secure when swaddled. This reflex disappears by three months.
The Rooting reflex: when baby's cheek or lips are touched he will turn towards the source of the stimulation - mouth open and tongue out, seeking nourishment. When milk touches his mouth, he reflexively sucks and swallows. As his eyesight improves and he learns what objects (bottle, breast, cup etc) are bringing him nourishment look like, rooting disappears and is replaced with a smile, when you are responding to his needs.
Grasping reflex: Touching baby's palm will make his fingers wrap around the object and hold on tightly. This will fade between two and three months - allowing baby to grasp objects voluntarily.
Righting reflex: With baby lying on his back, allow him to grasp your thumbs in each hand while you hold on to his hands, gently pull him into the sitting position and watch as he tries to hold his head up right. With his head accounting for a third or more of his body weight his neck muscles can't yet support the weight, but he'll give it a good try.
Tonic neck reflex: When lying on his back baby's head will turn to the side, the arm on that side will straighten while the other flexes, allowing baby to find his hand. The out stretched arm prevents baby from rolling over until this reflex disappears.
Babinski reflex: This reflex is the opposite of a normal adult, gently touching the bottom of baby's foot causes his toes to curl downward, while touching the side of his foot causes his toes to spread and the big toe to extend upward. On an adult the big toe turns downward.
Stepping reflex. Hold baby in the standing position with one foot at a time touching the surface beneath him. This will cause him to take "steps" This reflex disappears but will return later, allowing him to learn to walk.
Lifting the head: Laying baby on his tummy on a firm, flat surface will reflexively cause his head to lift up, many babies will even move their limbs in a swimming or crawling motion.
How much should a 63-year-old 5' 3 woman weigh?
Without having any other variables to work with, as weight is much more than just a number, a good indicator for your optimum weight is to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI). Your BMI should be between roughly 20 and 25, and can be calculated by:
1-write down your weight in kilograms
2-write down your height in metres, i.e., at 63 inches you would be 1.6m.
3-divide your weight in kilograms by your height squared (i.e., 1.6 x 1.6).
In your case, for your height the ideal weight range using BMI would be between 51kg and 65kg. That's roughly 112-143lbs.
Please be aware that the BMI does have it's limitations, and thus should only be used as a rough indication for your ideal weight. Note - for some basic conversions, 1 kilogram is 2.205 pounds, and 1 inch is 2.54cm (or 0.0254 metres).

Is a 5' 2 137 pound 15-year-old overweight?
Well according to the "mass body index" you are not overweight. However, it depends on what you really want to know. Do you want to know if you are overweight or "fat". (I put fat in quotes because this is a very subjective term).
This is a really difficult question because there are so many factors that determine the answer to this question. First off, if you are lean and most of your mass is muscle, you might weigh more than other people who are the same height as you. If by overweight you really want to know if you are healthy or not, you should find out what % of your body is fat. That's a more accurate indicator of whether you are healthy or not. Also, if you feel you are just "big" this could have to do with your body structure and how your parents' bodies look.
The most important thing is that you shouldn't worry about it unless your doctor is concerned about your weight. Nowadays our media portrays anything that isn't stick skinny as something undesirable, but really that's not true. It's not healthy to be as thin as that idea celebrity image and it's almost impossible. I know it's hard to have that image of perfection in your head and not be able to look just like that. Be happy with your body shape and weight because really, weight is just a number.
I've felt and still do feel a lot like you might if you're worried about this. I'm a girl and I'm 18, 5'3 and weigh 120 pounds. I worry a lot about weight and how I look as well, and at this point I'm really not satisfied. However, it's important to remember that you should be happy with how you are and that really how hot/sexy you are has nothing to do with your weight, it's about your confidence. This sounds really cliche, but it is so true: If you believe in yourself, you will be considered hot/sexy.
