The plantar grasp reflex is a primitive reflex found in newborn babies, involving a curling or grasping response of the toes. When the area near the base of the toes on a baby's foot is touched or stroked, the baby's toes curl downward, grasping at the stimulus. This reflex is believed to be a vestigial remnant of our evolutionary past. #newborn #firstbaby #thirdtrimester #pregnant #babies #newmommy | Dr. Joe, MD
