After all, still, being on the maternity table, the baby makes his first, albeit uncertain and non -independent steps. Checking congenital reflexes. The doctor has a child in such a way that his heels touch a solid surface and only this happens, as the baby immediately begins to sort out with his legs. This is not surprising, because the walking reflex is a very important indicator of normal neurological development. While the reflex is preserved, and this occurs for three months, the baby needs to touch the hard flat surface with barefoot legs. But be sure to hold it tightly under the armpits, because at this age even a small load can adversely affect the health of the baby. After the reflex begins to slow down slowly, the exercise must be stopped.
