Newborns exhibit the rooting reflex by turning the head toward the direction of the stimulus when the lip or cheek is stroked. Babinski's reflex can be elicited when the sole of the foot is scraped from heel to toe, resulting in the big toe fanning out. Moro's reflex is elicited when sudden noises or jarring movements cause the newborn to throw out the arms and draw up the legs. Stepping reflex occurs when the newborn is held upright with the feet touching a surface, resulting in the newborn stepping with one foot and then the other.
