Evaluation of a newborn

I have started to read a Glenn Doman book recently, which talks about how to nurture and develop a baby's potential. In one of the first chapters, it mentions the various stages of development and how to evaluate the basic functions of a newborn baby. It may be a little late now that Ian is already one month old, but I know that I could already skip some of these 'tests' as Ian has been demonstrating that he has already passed those 'tests'.

1. Light reflex Checked
2. Startle reflex Checked
3. Babinski reflex Checked
4. Movement of arms and legs without bodily movement Checked
5. Birth cry and crying Checked
6. Grasp reflex Checked

And, extra, extra! I brand this as the "7th reflex" - Ian's suckling reflex!
