at what age should my son start to reach for his toys.. bottle.. ect?

Answer 1

Usually around 4 months of age if they were full term and there are no developmental delays. Check below. It is a developmental milestone chart by experts. Every child develops at their own rate and there are so many ranges.

Answer 2

Every child is different. The general age is around 3 to 6 months. Some children start reaching and holding toys, bottles etc...at a very early age, while some are a little more laid back.

Answer 3

In the "what to expect the first year" book they say that usually they start reaching for smaller objects (toys, etc.) around 3 months. I have a two and a half month old baby girl and she has started to "play" with her rattle, punching it and trying to grasp it. When I'm feeding her she tries to hold the bottle, sometimes with one and sometimes with both hands. When she is in her baby gym she catches and holds the toys that are above her head. My friend has a 4 month old boy that just started to do the same things.

Answer 4

3-5 months. My baby started to reach for toys at 3 months. Now at 5 months she puts everything in her mouth. She can hold bottle or cup with 2 hands. Every baby is different tho. My sister's baby is 2 weeks younger & does none of this. My sis-in -law's baby is 4 months & does not hold toys yet.

Answer 5

Like everyone else said - every baby is different.

But, my son is 3 months old and he'll hold his bottle now. He started reaching at about 2 months. Very uncommon. But, my sister started holding her bottle at 3 months also. I think my son is just impatient.

My mom said I didn't hold my bottle until I was 6 months old. And, the same goes with my brother...and also this is when my girlfriend's son started holding. He didn't start reaching until about five months.

Answer 6

By five months your baby... should be able to:
-Hold head steady when upright
-on stomach, raise chest, supported by arms
-pay attention to an object as small as a raisin
-squeal in delight
-REACH FOR AN OBJECT
-smile back when you smile
-keep head level with body when pulled to sitting
-roll over
-bear some weight on legs
-say "ah-goo" or similar vowel consonant combinations
-razz (make a wet razzing sound)
-turn in the direction of a voice
May possible be able to:
-sit without support
...May even be able to:
-object if you try to take a toy away
-Pass a object from one hand to another
-look for dropped object.

I hope this has helped you out.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Well I guess it just depends on the baby my daughter didnt start holding her bottle until she was about 7 months and didnt start crawling until she was 10 months...not she's 14months and has just started walking...every baby is different I guess mine done things a lil later than most.

Answer 9

It is different for every child they all do different things at different times however you need to give him the chance to reach for them as well, put him on the floor sometimes and put his toys out too and if something is out of his reach let him learn to reach for it don't just give it to him. He will learn he is fine I am sure just give him time they are all different just enjoy him.

Answer 10

As soon as they can lift their head up while on their stomach, you can encourage reaching by putting their favorite toy just out of reach. They will work to get it. Just make sure you give it to them when they seem to be getting frustrated.
