Explanation:

Moro Reflex and Grasping Reflex in Infants

The Moro reflex is an instinctive behavior in newborns, present up to around three to four months of age, triggered by a sudden loss of support, causing the infant to spread out arms and then bring them back in. This reflex helps infants' survival instincts by potentially aiding them in reaching out for support. The grasping reflex is another innate behavior where infants automatically grasp onto objects placed in their palms, aiding in maintaining contact with caregivers for safety and comfort.
