Having seen my friend's DD yesterday, who is 1 week older than my DS, I noticed that her DD's hands were very open and her grasp reflex almost gone. My DS spends most of his time with his hands clenched shut and still grasps my finger, though not as tightly as he used to. his hands are open when he's relaxed, eg when feeding. He's not noticed his hands yet whereas friend's DD is wringing her hands together and playing with them. I've read that a persistent grasp reflex indicates a developmentally impaired child - what is anyone else's experience of this? DS is nearly 10 weeks old.
