The newborn walking reflex (stepping reflex) is when your baby's feet touch a flat surface while being held under the armpits, and they make stepping motions. This reflex is present from birth and usually disappears between 2-4 months. It's a completely normal developmental reflex and doesn't mean your baby will walk early. After it disappears, it's replaced by voluntary movement.
