The growth and development of babies after birth is a concern for every parent. Starting from the baby's eyes being able to look at adults, try to place your own hand on the baby's hand. The baby will directly hold the parent's hand, which is a holding reaction. However, some babies may not have a strong holding reaction and may slow down halfway when entering. So, what should be done if the baby's holding reaction is poor? Let's learn about it with the editor:
1. Poor grip response in newborns may be a physiological reflex that will return to normal after a period of time, or it may be caused by congenital brain underdevelopment. However, it does not necessarily mean that the baby's brain development is poor. It is necessary to take the baby to the neurology department to check the development and receive specific treatment.
2. The development of babies at each stage gradually develops as they grow up. Although the development of each baby is different, the difference between before and after is not too much. If the grip reaction is still poor after two or three months, it is likely that the brain is not developing well and needs timely treatment.
3. When the baby is young, it is important to help them learn skills and exercise. For example, when practicing lifting their head, they can use objects that are more attractive to the baby to make them lift their head, or give the baby some brightly colored toys to hold and see if the baby does not let go and holds tightly. Parents need to observe the baby more.
