My two month old isn't grabbing with both hands yet. Should I be worried?

Asked a year ago

I'm trying to teach my baby how to hold her own bottle but she only tries with one hand. Should I be concerned? Is she too young for this?

There's no reason to be concerned just yet. Babies are still developing their motor abilities at two months, including hand-eye coordination and gripping. It's natural for them to favour one hand over the other or to have a better grasp with one of their hands. Give your infant plenty of opportunity to explore and play, and they'll soon be able to use both hands.
