The correct answer is; Palmar grasp reflex or simply grasp reflex.

Further Explanation:

Newborns can grasp at objects such as fingers and blankets. As the baby grows they will then grasp other objects in their reach. The baby does this as a reflex. Newborns have several different reflex such as;

  • moro reflex
  • tonic neck reflex
  • grasp reflex
  • stepping reflex
  • suck reflex

This reflex helps the baby to learn fine motor skills needed for growing. The baby will continue to learn more reflex and around 4 months of age will be able to hold their hand open for an extended amount of time. Each baby is different and may do things earlier or later depending on the baby.
