What behavior is noticeable in a baby who is rooting?

Answer
A
a startle reaction to loud sounds
B
open eyes
C
a strong grip with both hands
D
an open mouth

Explanation

The rooting reflex helps a baby find food. When a baby’s cheek is touched, the baby turns toward the touch and opens their mouth to feed. So the noticeable behavior is an open mouth; a startle to loud sounds and a strong grip are different reflexes.
