Solution

The feeding reflexes among the options provided are the Grasp and Rooting reflexes.

  1. Grasp Reflex: This is an involuntary movement where a baby will close their fingers around an object that touches their palm. While this isn't directly related to feeding, it plays a role in the baby's ability to hold a bottle.

  2. Rooting Reflex: This is a key feeding reflex. When the corner of a baby's mouth is touched or stroked, they will turn their head and open their mouth to follow and 'root' in the direction of the stroking. This helps the baby find the breast or bottle to start feeding.

The Babinski and Moro reflexes are not related to feeding.

  1. Babinski Reflex: This reflex is seen when the sole of the foot is firmly stroked. The big toe then moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot. The other toes fan out.

  2. Moro Reflex: Also known as the startle reflex, this is an involuntary response that is present at birth. It occurs when a baby is startled by a loud sound or movement. In response to the sound, the baby throws back their head, extends out their arms and legs, cries, then pulls the arms and legs back in.
