Understanding Infant Prehension:

What to Expect at Five Months As infants approach the five-month milestone, one of the most exciting developments to observe is the emergence of prehension – the ability to grasp and manipulate objects.

This milestone marks a significant step in an infant's cognitive and motor skill progression, signaling their growing control over their environment.
