Palm grasp

When your newborn firmly grasps your finger for the first time, it is a cherished moment.

New born grasps your finger

We know this movement is an instinct, that made that babies curl their tiny fingers around any object that brushes against their palms. This is called the palm grasp and starts since the baby is on his mother’s womb. When the baby is between 4 and 6 weeks old, he will learn to open his fists, but it will close them tightly if you put something on the palm of his hand.
