Will grasp an object if hand accidentally strikes it

A Fine Motor milestone for the week 1 age range.

TIP: You can stimulate this reflex by putting a finger in baby's palm. Beginning at week 3-4 he may enjoy shaking a rattle or waving a toy with his hand. (The grasping reflex is very strong at birth, and will fade over 3 to 4 months.)
