Adaptive

• attachment is an adaptive behaviour because it increases the infant's chance of survival or reproductive advantage
• rooting: an infant's head turns towards their cheek when stroked and sucking reflexes follow, which allows the infants to take in nourishment
• breathing: an infant will move their arms and legs when something covers their face to protect their oxygen
• body temperature: infants can maintain their body temperatures by tucking their legs into their bodies to stay warm
