Patient's question:
The baby is seven months old. There were no abnormalities during birth. She is 52 cm tall and weighs 6.4 pounds. Now she is 70 cm tall and weighs 17 pounds. She is breastfed exclusively. She can follow sounds and objects, laugh when amused, move her body flexibly, sit with support, and has good balance. If she starts to fall, she will herself sit back up. She can make babamamadada sounds. She can lift her hands to grab things, but she can't hold them tightly anymore. She often lets go of things after holding them for a while, and she isn't very agile when playing with toys. I know her fine motor skills are a bit weak, but is there any problem?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's current growth and development are normal, and there is no need to worry. The pattern of growth and development in babies is from coarse to fine, so fine motor skills develop more slowly, and it takes until around 18 months for them to start mastering fine motor skills such as using fingers to pinch things. The above is advice on the question "At seven months, there are no abnormalities, but the baby's grip is not tight—what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health and happiness every day!
