Question
Is it normal for a five-month-old baby not to use their hands to actively grasp things? And if they haven’t rolled over yet, does it mean there was a problem during childbirth? For example, was there a nuchal cord around the neck, premature rupture of membranes, amniotic fluid contamination, or abnormal fetal heart rate? Were there any abnormalities during the mother’s pregnancy?
Answer
The baby’s childbirth process was normal; there were no complications such as a nuchal cord around the neck, premature rupture of membranes, amniotic fluid contamination, or an abnormal fetal heart rate. There were also no abnormalities during the mother’s pregnancy.
