If you blow across an infant's open mouth, they will close their mouth and swallow. This is a nurses' trick for getting babies to swallow medicine. Very cool!

there was another reflex with the foot which I can't remember.

Yeah, the reflexes are pretty cool. The foot one is the Babinski's sign. Normal in babies, abnormal in adults. -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 1, 22:10 1
