suckling reflex
The suckling reflex is an infant's natural and automatic response of sucking or swallowing when something touches or is placed in their mouth. It is a vital survival behavior necessary for feeding, which aids in the intake of nutrients during infancy. The reflex typically disappears by the age of 2 as the child transitions from breast milk or bottle-feeding to solid foods.
