AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -All babies develop at their own pace, but in general, you can expect your baby to start working on grabbing things between 3 and 6 months old. They’ll start by swiping at toys hanging overhead and grasping an object you put in their hand.

Detailed explanation-2: -By 6 months, most babies will start reaching or grabbing for things and transferring items between their hands and mouth. If your baby is not showing any interest in reaching towards things by 5 – 6 months, then please ask your Health Visitor or Family Nurse for advice.

Detailed explanation-3: -When do babies start reaching for things? Your baby should be reaching for familiar objects by month 4, although some infants may begin reaching-for toys, for the dog and, of course, for their caregivers-by month 3. Soon after your baby masters reaching, you can also expect her to start grabbing objects.

Detailed explanation-4: -While it might seem like just a really cute way to play, this is actually an important motor milestone that your baby is reaching! Known sometimes as “finding their feet, ” baby reaches hands to feet to get familiar with their body and movements. This milestone usually happens around 4-6 months of age.
