Newborn-normal-behaviour.jpg</wikiflv> This 5-day-old infant is in the alert, quiet state.
  • Holding the baby’s foot in one hand, draw the leg towards the ear to see how much resistance there is to the maneuver.
  • The foot should go to about the level of the chest or shoulder, but not all the way to the ear.
