Patient's question:
The son, at three months, doesn't lift his head as early as other babies. He lifts his head very late, and now both his hands are clenched in a tight grip. When someone offers him something, he doesn't reach for it. I feel that the baby is somewhat abnormal. What is the reason why a three-month-old baby doesn't grasp objects?Doctor's answer:
First, when a child exhibits such behavior, parents should take them to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any abnormalities in the baby's brain. You can also vary the types of toys given to the baby, using toys with bright colors to practice grasping. However, moms shouldn't worry. Since the baby can hold onto mom's hand, it indicates that the baby has grasping ability. It might just be that the toys aren't attracting him. You can try switching to different toys.
