Newborn - doesn’t grab fingers

Has anyone any experience of newborn not grasping fingers tightly? DD is 4 weeks old and has never tightly grasped fingers, has curled fingers round on couple of occasions but if stroke hand doesn’t automatically grab onto finger, in fact opens fingers. Has all other reflexes but this one seems to be missing and I’m worried. HV was of no use and can’t get a GP appt.

Not experienced that one sorry @DoraDee.

Hopefully this will bump for you.
