closed fist/not holding toys

When did your LO"s have an open hand more than closed?  Also when did they start holding toys? DS still has a closed fist most of the time and he has only held things for a few seconds.  Is this something I should worry about?He's already rolling over and reaching other milestones just not this one. It's on my list of questions for his 4 month appt.

    DS can hold a rattle and other small toys that I put in his hands, but I'm not entirely sure he is aware of it because he knocks himself on the head a lot....He still always has his fists clenched, too. HTH!!!

    I'm curious too. DS has NO interest in toys and it's nearly impossible to get him to open up his hands.

    i dont think this happened until around the end of 3 months/beginning of 4 months when we put her in exersaucer and she started grabbing everything!

    This only recently started happening with my LO in the past few weeks. ?First he started bringing his hands together, and then he started actually grasping toys for longer than a couple of seconds. ?Just keep trying - it will happen.

    I would not worry about it too much.  My DS always has clenched fists and will only hold something for a second or two maybe twice a day if I'm lucky to see it.  He is not even rolling over yet either.  I'd bring it up at your 4 month if you are worried, but babies develop at different paces.
