It may take you a while to get used to your baby’s behaviour. It is worth studying his reactions to various stimuli and becoming familiar with some of the traits that will mark his personality as he grows. Young babies have far more individuality than they are usually credited with, and this is a useful fact to bear in mind as you get to know your child.
REFLEXES
One thing common to all healthy babies is a number of reflexes that can be stimulated from the very first moments after birth. These reflexes are involuntary movements that eventually , at about three months, start to be replaced by voluntary movements.
Grasp reflex
If you put something in the palm of your baby’s hand, he will clench it surprisingly tightly. The grasp of a baby is often tight enough to support his entire body weight (although you should never try this).
