Curious as to how babies have such a strong grip on things they get their hands on even at such a young age
In: Biology
Newborns have a distinct set of natural reflexes that are developed in the womb and which they lose during the first few months of life. Pediatricians test for them to make sure the neurological system is developing accordingly; if any anomalies are noticed (for example, during the “stepping reflex” Baby moves both feet simultaneously rather than alternately) it could be a red flag. [This video demonstrates those reflexes](https://youtu.be/0vrdkzOnGgo?si=qPubRz2ebj7vCjBs).
