State
Newborn reflexes are automatic responses present at birth that support feeding and survival and fade with maturation.
Show
A touch to a newborn's cheek turns the head toward it, which supports feeding before any learning.
Watch for
Persistence of these reflexes past their normal window is a neurological sign, which is why they are tested.
