Right.
yes, the rooting reflex enhances breastfeeding.
You are correct! The rooting reflex is observed when a baby turns his or her head and mouth toward a stimulus that brushes his or her cheek. This reflex helps the baby locate the source of nourishment, typically the breast or bottle, and prepares them for feeding.
To arrive at this answer, I used my knowledge of developmental milestones and reflexes in infants. The rooting reflex is a common reflex seen in newborns and is one of the earliest reflexes to develop. It helps infants feed and survive in the early stages of life. By understanding the different reflexes and their characteristics, we can determine which option best fits the description.
