~* Infant reflexes ~*

Have you ever noticed how much fun babies are, especially when they are infants.  Not only are they super adorable, and just a  joy to be around, but they have the ability to do so many reflexes in the infant stage. 


Check out my videos also, they are sooo cute!  


There is a reflex called blinking, this is when the child sees a flash of light or a puff of air, and their immediate response is to close both eyes.

The next reflex is the Babinski reflex, this is one you stroke the bottom of an infants foot and the infant in turn turns their foot out and fans out their toes, 

Another adorable reflex that infants can do is called rooting, this is when the infants cheek is stroked or their side of their mouth is touched, and they respond by turning their head, open their mouth and begin sucking.
                                    
LOOK AT HOW CUTE THIS VIDEO IS!!

Stepping reflex is actually one of the super cool ones, this is when the infant is held above the surface and their feet is lowered to touch surface, they will begin to move their feet as if to walk. Its INCREDIBLE!

Swimming reflex is another awesome one, this just seems unreal to me that they have the ability to do this given how old they are and how unexperienced they are.  Swimming reflex is done when you put the infant face down in water, and they make coordinating swimming movements as their response.  It is REMARKABLE!!

One more reflex is the tonic neck reflex, this is when the infant is placed on their back, and they will form a fist with hands and make a fencers pose.  Look at this cutie doing his fencing pose!














Remember the next time your around an infant to try and get them to do these reflexes, because they are SO ADORABLE!!!
