5.5 month dd - won't use right hand....

my dd doesn't seem to want to use her right hand. She is reaching and grabbing toys with her left and lifting them to her mouth but she either doesn't use her right at all or uses it whilst clenched. The problem seems to be with her thumb an forefinger, the other three fingers do "unfurl" sometimes but she seems reluctant to use her "pincer" grip on her right hand. I know this doesn't seem much at the moment, but I was wndering if this is something I should mention to my gp or if it is a sign of an underlying problem

Mine is same age, I think if it was me I would mention it, but would try not to worry - if that isn't contradictory advice!

no idea, but I would mention it, just so that they can monitor it
