Surely you are fathers (and mothers) you have seen your baby walk in the first days. It is a primitive reflex that all babies have, which is called "Marching Reflection", which they lose as they grow.
Despite this, the recording of a baby doing it seems to have amazed many people and your "excursion" has gone viral, to the point of reaching the media, who have not hesitated to share it.
"The astonishment of the medical team"
As we read in La Sexta, the baby "tries to walk to the astonishment of the hospital medical team" because "it is not usual for a baby with such a short time to live his first steps." Moreover, they add that "the mysterious case has surprised social networks, who have shared this kind moment and have shown their amazement at what the baby has achieved."
I wanted to share it for two reasons: one, so you can see it, because it's very cool to see a baby walk. Yes, it amazes, and much, and to most mothers and fathers it seems a precious moment to see and remember, because it is something that they will not do for a long time; until they are able to really walk.
And two, to ask who writes in La Sexta to report a little. It is not a mysterious case, the medical team is not astonished and yes, it is very common, because all babies, sooner or later, do. In fact, if a baby does not, special attention is given to the rest of the reflexes and to their general condition, because of their problems.
Here you have more videos where you can see the gait reflex, so you can see that it is a totally normal reflex:
And here another. The moment a baby's feet hit a hard surface, the gait reflex is activated:
How funny babies walking, right?
