4 months old baby doesn't bat at toys

[bunny85]

Hi all

I'm very worried about my son who is almost 18 weeks old and isnt batting at toys. He isn't trying to reach for them either. He smiles a lot and coos and generally seems to prefer the company of people rather than toys which is not bad in itself but I'm sick with worry that he's so late. He of course is interested in them nevertheless, looks with interest etc but never tries to bat or reach. Anyone has any words of wisdom? Thanks a lot

Hello. My baby is EXACTLY the same as what you’re describing and I have been obsessing and panicking over it too. He’s now 4.5 months and still no sign of this. Fingers crossed it happens soon. X
