baby update – 116 days pregnant

Your baby is adding to its list of reflex behaviors: blinking helps keep foreign objects out of their eyes and keeps their eyes moist, sucking and swallowing provide for the ingestion of nutrients. Right now, your baby is practicing all three of these reflex behaviors. It is also working on incorporating some additional reflexes, so that by the time it is born, the average full-term baby will display more than seventy different reflex behaviors.
