🦶 What is the Flexor Withdrawal Reflex? 🦶
This primitive reflex is your baby’s built-in protection system—like when their foot pulls away after touching something cold, sharp, or unexpected. It’s a normal part of early development, but if it doesn’t integrate on time, it can affect key milestones like crawling, standing, and walking. 🧠🍼
At Speckled Frog Pediatric Therapy, our expert occupational therapists assess and support reflex integration to help your child build strong movement patterns, improve coordination, and thrive in everyday activities. 🌟
💬 Noticing your baby pull away during diaper changes, avoid certain textures, or seem extra sensitive? These could be signs of a retained reflex.
