The slowing of heart rate and breathing is called the bradycardic response. [1] It is not true that babies are born with the ability to swim, though they have primitive reflexes that make it look like they are. Newborns are not old enough to hold their breath intentionally or strong enough to keep their head above water, and cannot swim unassisted.
This reflex occurs in slightly older infants (starts between 6 and 7 months [24] and become fully mature by 1 year of age) when the child is held upright and the baby's body is rotated quickly to face forward (as in falling). The baby will extend their arms forward as if to break a fall, even though this reflex appears long before the baby walks.
In a normal infant, the palmar grasp reflex is present during the first three months of age and disappears by six months of age. Disappearance of the reflex has been attributed to conscious and voluntary hand use. [3] Based on collected evidence, there is no significant difference between the reflexes of normal-term and pre-term infants. [2] [3]
The second stage, with up to three items, begins after eight months. [17] [19] The third stage appears at about 3.5 years of age with four items. [17] [20] The fourth stage starts in children when they are about five years old and can hold five or more items in the focal point. [17] [19]
Palmar grasp reflex — in infants up to six months of age, a closing of the hand in response to an object being placed in it. Periroral reflex: when a finger is placed at the angle of the mouth and struck, or the nasolabial fold is stroked, mouth closure is induced via CN VII [1] Pharyngeal reflex — also known as the gag reflex.
The symmetrical tonic neck reflex (STNR) is a primitive reflex that normally emerges during the first month of an infant's life and is diminished by the age of 9–10 months. [1] It is a bridging or transitional brainstem reflex that is an important developmental stage and is necessary for a baby to transition from lying on the floor to ...
