Self-protection mechanism
Head and neck reflex is a self-protection mechanism for newborns, which can ensure the baby to lie safely in the crib and not roll easily. This reflex has been formed in the weeks before the baby is born.
Predictive handedness
A baby's head and neck reflex can show his dominant hand. When the baby lies on his back, his little head will naturally turn to one side and pose as a cool fencer. At the same time, he will stretch out his arms and legs while the other side is bent.
Brain development problem
Head and neck reflex usually disappears naturally around 3 months after birth. If this reflex persists, it may be that there are some minor problems in the baby's brain development and it is necessary to consult a doctor in time.
