Is instinct factually ingrained within our DNA? Possibly it is also our attachment to one another on a level that we have not quite uncovered yet. ALL of our psychic abilities in tune with others that give us that "instinctual" ability which may in fact be our ability to notice slight changes in our environment (in all aspects, smells, electromagnetics, static, pharamones, etc.) that give us our ability to "sense" things when we are actually analyzing the environment on a level that we don't even understand but instead label it as "instinct", which is not actually instinct at all.

It's like when a baby is born it will start sucking to eat.

children's instinct is spot on. Sometimes you can loose that instinct the older you grow., I think sometimes you have to fine tune it occasionally

Instinct is the information that is encoded in your DNA. DNA not only controls physical appearance, but behavior, to some extent, as well.

Is a reflex or a reaction, if a dog falls into a pool, he will some how "swim" to the shore, other example, if you touch something warm. you don't have to think about moving, it automatically tries to get away from that thing.

God given but we can hone it by using ours senses and accessing the deep regions of our brain

That is because it is really not opposed to learning. Some very simple organism, somewhere, sometime, zigged instead of zagged and lived to have progeny that inherited the zig/zag genetics of their ancestor.

This might be tangental, but I am reminded of the "hundredth monkey" theory, from observations on an isolated island, that once one monkey discovered a new food-washing method, very soon the whole tribe used the method, untaught by the original simian.
Called the "Morphogenetic field", and popularized by Rupert Sheldrake, who held that it was evidence of morphic fields bringing about non-local effects in learning and consciousness.
Later dismissed as urban legend and "New Age Nonsense".

Two of the best books on the subject are The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker. Also A User's Guide to the Brain by John J. Ratey. It's important to approach the argument with this understanding. How has the human race managed to stay alive? Sex. If we are born with an instinct for sex why doesn't it involve living happily and righteously in families? Evolution is lazy, it only gives us the minimum required for us to thrive as a species. Which involves men wanting to have sex with as many good healthy mothers as they want and women being selective about which men they have sex with- men who provide support and sincere caring. So if men are born with the instinct for frivolous sex does that get me off the hook with God? Absolutely not. God designed our bodies to keep us alive and growing. God designed our spirits to become happy and perfect. You decide if you will take control of the body you have been given. Never underestimate the brain's ability to inhibit its natural instinct.

Instinct -- you may be born with it, or you may have parents that are constantly on the alert and pass this behavior on to you. If the latter, you will learn to read people and places, and your gut instinct will be based on logic and analysis. If born with it, you will hone that gift as you grow.
