In the movie Taken, Liam Neeson famously explains that he has “a very particular set of skills.”
So do newborn babies.
We know these inborn skills as reflexes - and in this video we’re seeing one of three interrelated reflexes designed to help newborns find nourishment.
While most babies don’t crawl as a form of locomotion until at least 6-8 months, they reflexively “breast crawl” in search of food beginning at birth, combining this reflex with rooting (turning their heads in the direction of skin-to-skin contact with the mouth or a cheek) and sucking as a means of ensuring life-giving nourishment.
The amazing thing is that - like other reflexes - these skills are neither taught, nor learned. They are among a collection of tools hard-wired by Mother Nature to increase the odds of infants’ survival and thriving.
Pretty cool, huh?
