    Flashcards

    When does the grasp reflex disappear?

    The reflex where a baby automatically grasps an object placed in their hand disappears around this age.

    What milestone shows a baby can sit without support?

    This milestone indicates a baby's strengthening core muscles and ability to balance independently.

    What might be a sign of delayed motor skills at 12 months?

    If a baby is not able to build a basic tower at this age, it could indicate delayed motor development.

    What could an absent or weak grasp reflex indicate?

    A weak or missing grasp reflex in a baby might point to potential muscle issues or nerve damage.
