When should I have my baby's reflexes tested?

 

Your child's pediatrician will check for many of these reflexes at birth and at your baby's first visit to the doctor. If you have any concerns about these, ask your doctor at each visit. The three month visit is especially fun because the doctor is looking at the Moro Reflex and it seems for a moment that your baby is taking her first steps. She's not but it just looks so cute!

 

Do reflexes need to be tested as my baby gets older?
