Babies typically begin to grasp objects around 3 to 4 months of age. At this stage, they develop the ability to reach for and grasp toys, often using a reflexive grip. By about 6 months, their grasp becomes more intentional and coordinated, allowing them to hold and manipulate objects more effectively. This progression is a crucial part of their fine motor development.
