19 weeks & not grabbing for things - worried

Amy31 · Apr 8th, 2012, 11:46 AM

My LO is 19 weeks soon & holds objects I put in his hands but if I hold something for him or put something in front of him he doesn't reach out for it. Should he be doing this by now? : flower:

Hey Amy, I don't remember exactly when my baby did it but he did it weeks after other babies and now he's much more able to handle objects that those who did it earlier so I really wouldn't worry x x

Oh just checked a milestones chart and it says only half of all babies can do it by 4 months

I wouldnt worry hun. Its only within past 2 weeks that my lo has started grabbing for things more. She literally went from not grabbing for anything to grabing at everything
