Question
The baby is seven months old, and recently, I’ve noticed that he holds things loosely. He lets go of things quickly, and he’s not very dexterous when playing with toys. I’m worried there might be a developmental issue.
Answer
According to your description, the baby does not have any significant lag in height and weight, but there is indeed a delay in fine motor development. Generally speaking, if it’s only a month or so behind, there’s no need to be overly concerned. It is recommended to continue observing, but if there is a delay of more than a month, a detailed examination is necessary.
