English term or phrase: rooting and nuzzling behaviour
Jag översätter en handledning för nyblivna mödrar, och då står det så här i inledningen:

Even if a baby does not feed initially, his or her digestion will be stimulated by instinctive ‘rooting’ and ‘nuzzling’ behaviour against mum’s breast.
Skin-to-skin contact at birth encourages further neuro-behavioural responses from the baby, such as crawling to the nipple, hand-to-mouth movements and massaging the breast.

Det är nog nog mer än bara kelbeteende, kanske behöver skrivas om.
