I remeber a documentary about babies. They said that actually that last reflect, the walking or what-ever reflect, doesnt actually fade away. Its just that the baby just puts on so much weight that they cant lift their feet anymore. In the documentary they had a bigger baby that did show that reflect anymore put in water, waist high water and now the baby started to walk!

The stepping reflex is there to help in breastfeeding in the very newborn stage. At birth, when babies are placed skin to skin on mom's belly while mom is in a reclined position, that stepping reflex helps babies push themselves up to mom's breast by "stepping" on her belly. As mom's and babies are still learning to breastfeed, using this position will help babies use their reflexes and instincts to self-latch onto the breast. Once mom and baby figure out how to latch and nurse, this position is not necessarily the only position to use. This confidence in breastfeeding for both mom and baby tends to show up just as that stepping reflex starts to fade. Look up "breast crawl" videos to see what I mean.

After having 4 kids, im still suprised!😂. Thank you!

Did any of these reflexes surprise you? Don't forget to get your free 0 - 12 months old developmental milestone chart here: get.emmahubbard.com/12monthmilestones/ 😊

Now I understand the sucking reflex. We had our baby’s first pediatric visit today & her doctor was saying something similar; “Sucking doesn’t always mean hungry.” I kept thinking it just always meant she was hungry, so I would just head for the bottle lol. Now I know 🙂

We quickly found out about swaddling after our little one woke up every time we put him in his bed. Pretty cool to learn that it is a reflex and will fade. He is 6 weeks old now, can't wait lol

When it’s time to get her dressed, I’m so going to try the tonic neck reflex tomorrow on our newborn.

I really appreciate how straightforward and informative your videos are! I’m 6 months pregnant with my first baby :)

My baby is almost 10 weeks old and still has a really strong stepping reflex.

Wish I'd known about the tonic neck reflex sooner! Dressing newborns isnt easy haha i just stick to the comfiest & simplest items to dress him in! Why distress him trying to put on some fancy fiddly outfit just to be 'cute'. I only want what benefits him 😊💙

New dad here to a one month old baby boy, thank you for this information, very helpful.

God is amazing in how He made things.

Most helpful channel out there!! Your videos continue to help me as a new mom. Anytime i have a question about my baby i look to see if you have made a video about it. Thank you!

I googled the lip quiver today!! Thank you for informing me

I always wondered about the lip quiver!! I’m so thankful i found your channel!

So glad i found your channel. I should see my baby next weekend. Looking forward to implementing most of your tips if not all.

Hi Emma.. Thank you so much for this video. I was so worried about my baby tossing and turning every night.. I didnt know its the Moro reflex. I can't wait for her to have a proper sleep after this is over. Thanks again

Girl, that Monstera needs some more sunlight lol

I am expecting my baby in February 2022. Very informative video, thank you so much

Just had my 3rd baby this was super insightful and i enjoyed listening to your voice. I am subscribed now thankyou for the knowledge!

The most fascinating thing is the newborn

Thank you for your videos! I always learn so much.

This is amazing! Thank you for all these helpful information

I wish I knew about the rooting reflex. Because I'm still not successful at breastfeeding with my newborn she will latch on for a moment and she doesn't want to put in the work.

I learned so much from this. Thank you!

I really need the PDF , BUT I can't see it in the description box

So informative! Thank you!

Very valuable information. Thank you. Please keep the content coming.

Great channel! Love your videos, they are short and to the point! Maybe you could do a video on thumb/fingers/fists sucking, self soothing...pros and cons. Keep up the great videos you’re doing! Xx

I am glad I know ur channel... very glad.

My 3 month old is not sleeping well. His naps lasts only 20-30 mins max and at night he usually wakes up every 1-1 1/2 hour and struggles to go back to sleep. His hand movements doesn’t let him stay asleep. We are not swaddling him since he is showing signs of rolling. Pls advice

Very informative! thanks for this Emma.

This is informative thank you for this Ma'am❤My baby is almost 2 months😊

Mamma’s you should try not to let the baby suck on his/her hand/thumb, instead stick with a pacifier. when the baby gets older and your trying to get them to stop using a binki, you can not cut the tip of the thumb like you can cut the tip of the pacifier.

Swaddling isn’t easy in a southeast Asian country. The weather is hot

My baby only has a rooting reflex when she's actually hungry. If she's not she just ignores it, or smiles. She's 1 month today, she's always been like that

Helpful thank you.

Really happy to found your channel.

My baby don't like swaddle,what should i do?

Thank you Emma..Its really educative to understand my baby.. I have a question ..when I massage my baby over the chest he shows startle reflex is that normal?

Informative👍 thank you.

I love your videos! I am a new mom and I taught my baby how to turn over from your videos! Thank you! Would you be able to do a video on ways to help with flat head? My baby is almost 4 months and I am already doing so much tummy time but he still has a flat head!

Why do you recommend a swaddle instead of laying them down on their side then roll them over to their back when placing them down?

My son throws a tantrum even when I swaddle him I have to put a pacifier in his mouth to shut him up😂so I can swaddle him right …he’s 6 months now it’s really hard getting him to nap, making him cranky and fussy 😮‍💨🥺struggling to keep him asleep without waking up because of loud noises etc. I have to make sure the house is extremely quiet but that is so not easy with the area where we live in so loud by the cars 🥺

Sometimes my baby shakes her legs while sleeping.is it notmal? She's almost 8weeks now

Emma, what is the case for using dummies on newborns? Is it recommended at a certain age or in certain conditions/situations only? Thanks!

Your videos are so helpful and informative!

Hi Emma , thank you for your informative videos I will be experiencing to be a mom soon and for the first time and you videos are really helpful 🌸 My question is there any negative effects of using white noise? And until what month can be used? Thank you !

Is the stepping reflex performing for newborns and leading to walk earlier and also healthier?

My baby's lip quiver happens while breast feeding.is it normal?

Super useful thanks 🙏

Hello i love your videos! In your video about floor seats you have a lot of people asking about the Upseat, which claims to be designed by physical therapists. Could you please respond to these people with your thoughts on this floor seat? I had never considered buying a bumbo or anything but I had considered buying an Upseat because they claim to be designed to promote hip development and proper posture.

my newborn chin is twitching while breastfeeding or massaging or while sleeping ... is it normal or i should seek for pediatrician??

Hi.. My 4 mon lo is crying in sleep for past 3 days. Its like he is really scared and crying but he will again fall asleep. Its more of a thing he is doing in sleep. Is this a reflex? Or something i should be concerned

You said the sucking reflex they use both when they are hungry and also to help calm themselves down so how do you know which is which?

My baby is going to be 4month old and she off lately wakes up suddenly during her day nap and starts crying with a lot of sobbing sound . Sometime she calms down when I lift her but at times she's sobbing badly

My baby is 6weeks old and she hates being swaddled, what to do...

Plz make a video on 2 month baby activities that can I follow full detail video in which you should describe also the feed time, bath time, 0lay time I will follow for my baby thank you

When does the rooting reflex go?

What if my newborn doesnʻt have a grasping reflex?

When this quivering lip reflex will fade?

My baby likes to fling your head backwards sometimes when she's breastfeeding... It's kind of annoying because she works hard to let and then she thinks her head off. This really upsets her, is this some kind of reflex?

My 2 week baby has never done a stomping reflex

My 4 months old has a very strong moro reflex, we still have to swaddle him every night otherwise he starts crying. Sometimes it lasts for 20 seconds and he open his eyes wide during the reflex, sometimes similar to epilepsy. Not sure if this is normal, I just really hope it's going to disappear soon because he already started to turn on his tummy and I'm afraid that the swaddle can be dangerous..thanks for your advice!

My baby 1.5 months old suffers from moro reflex a lot and doesn't like to be swaddled and likes to sleep on shoulder only and when I put her on the bed or crib gets very angry and starts crying...... What shud I do?

my baby 12 sal seeliping time hand move mend fut movemind plz help me

My question is my baby is 8 month old and started eating food but some times she totally refused to eat. Why??

New born baby sleeps very quickly (like five minutes) when giving breastfeeding so baby not drinks enough milk so wakeup quickly (not sleep 2-3 hours) what can I do for that

My little one of 5 months age has started to suck her fingers to calm down, and the pediatritian has told us to quit this habit right away, because it may stay for years affecting her teeth and introduce the pacifier instead (which she is not that fan of yet, so we need to teach her use it), because since it is an object, we can make it dissapearat a certain point. Is it really a reflex that will fade naturally at 12 months age? Thank you so much!

My baby hated swaddles and started rolling over at 10 weeks 🤦🏻‍♀️ sleep was difficult

Can startle reflex happen when awake?

Question, noticed a lot of moms don't want their babies to suck on their fingers because of the fear they will continue to suck their fingers as they are growing. Therefore they will pull the baby hands away , Is their any truth to that.

My question is out of topic SORRY my 4 month old baby refuses to eat during the day and only eats every two hours from 10 pm to 10 am (this week) I tryed to switch to the bottle feeding but it doesn't work, from 10am to 10 pm, he takes the breast 2 minutes a time after each nap (3 to 4 naps ).. I noticed that he bites his lower lip and his fingers a lot.. he still have the same number of wet and dirty diaper. I was willing to start solid food at the age of 6 months but now I'm confused. Should I start sold food now since he's not eating or it's okay to keep this pattern of feeding. One more thing forget to mention is that he is still happy and active. Thank you for this very informative channel

At 2 weeks and some days my boy started attempting the skill of finger sucking

Lip quiver for me was a sign of being afraid of the unknown 😅

My baby Is 7 months old and he still does that. But he only does It when he doesn't have any clothes on.

The baby has the same birth mark as me lol 7:49
