B
To assess for the Landau reflex, carefully suspend the infant in a prone position, supporting the chest with your hand. Observe for extension of the head, trunk, and hips. The arms and legs extend during the reflex. The reflex appears at about 3 months of age. The Galant reflex involves stroking the infant's back along the side of the spine. This should cause the infant to move the pelvis and shoulders toward the stimulated side. The Moro reflex is a startle reflex tested by a sudden loud noise. The placing reflex involves holding the infant upright under the arms and touching the dorsum of one foot to the edge of the exam table. The infants tested leg should flex and lift onto the exam table.
