Babinski Reflex in Babies

Newborn Reflexes in Babies are of great importance in terms of adapting to life. These reflexes are involuntary motor skills that develop over time. After birth, babies begin to adapt to the new world with involuntary movements, which is also a protective mechanism. Of course, some of these reflexes lose their properties as children grow. One of these is the Babinski reflex. So what is the Babinski reflex in babies? Let's take a detailed look at this involuntary movement.What is the Babinski reflex?When you gently tap the sole of your baby's foot, you will see the big toe extend upward and the other toes splay outwards. This is called the Babinski or plantar reflex in babies. This sign, first described by neurologist Joseph Babinski in 1896, is seen as a common part of both newborn and infant examinations and check-ups.This involuntary movement is a reflex that continues in babies for about 2 years. Doctors stimulate the sole of the foot with a pencil-like drawing to observe and control possible foot movements to understand the neurological responses that the baby's brain and nervous system functions give. With this reflex, the big toe curls outward, and the other toes separate from each other and take shape.When Does Babinski Reflex Occur in Babies and When Does it Disappear?This involuntary movement is observed in babies under 2 years of age. When the sole of the foot is gently stroked from the heel towards the toes, the big toe lifts up and the other toes fan out.
