Curious as to how babies have such a strong grip on things they get their hands on even at such a young age

It’s a bit stronger than you’d expect but that’s really just the mechanics of how a hand is shaped. We can generate a lot of grip with a relatively small amount of muscle. A babies grip is not really that strong. You could easily pull your hand away. The tricky part is doing it delicately which is what makes it seem like they have a really good grip
