Question
Is it normal for an 8-month-old baby to sometimes clench their fists?
Answer
An 8-month-old baby hasn’t learned to speak yet, so they often use actions or expressions to convey their emotions. When a baby clenches their fists or chews on their fingers, it might be their way of expressing anxiety or emotion. This behavior is usually harmless, as the baby is simply expressing feelings in their own way.
