The statement "Reflexes show that the baby's brain and body are operating the way that they should" is true. However, to answer your question, the following is not a reflex:

Crying is not a reflex. Crying is a form of communication that babies use to express their needs and feelings. While crying can sometimes be an automatic response to certain stimuli, such as hunger or discomfort, it is not a reflex in the same sense as the startle reflex or the rooting reflex, which are automatic movements in response to specific stimuli.
