When your baby comes into the world she is equipped with a set of reflexes that help her cope with the world.
Newborns' fists are clenched most of the time, and they have virtually no control over their hands. The hands are now goverened by the grasp reflex, which makes them grasp a toy or finger you place in his hand. At some point, the muscles relax and the object falls - this is completely unintentional and without awareness.
The eye muscles are also weak: newborns can track moving objects with slow, jumpy movements.
