    Three-month-old babies are always clenched into fists, which is generally a normal physiological phenomenon.

    Three-month-old babies always clench their little fists, and the way he clenches his fists is very cute, which is different from the way we adults clench their fists. Before 4 months of age, the baby's fist clenching posture is usually the thumb and palm together, while the other 4 fingers are pressed against the thumb.

    Some parents may have such worries that the baby is already three months old, but always clenched his fists, is this normal?

    In fact, about this problem, parenting experts tell us that the baby's fist clenching is mainly related to the immaturity of the cerebral cortex, because the brain is immature, resulting in the baby's limited ability to regulate hand muscle activity. At this stage of the baby, the strength of the flexor muscles is stronger than the strength of the extensor muscles, so the baby is always in a state of clenching fists, which is normal.

    When the baby grows to about 4 months, as the nervous system gradually matures, the strength of the flexor muscles will gradually weaken, the self-control ability will gradually increase, and the strength of the flexors and extensors will gradually reach a relatively balanced state.

    Some mothers are too anxious to see that their babies are always clenching their little fists, so they want to pull their baby's little fists away. So here I want to remind these mothers, don't itch your hands, don't try to open his little fist, so deliberately open the baby's palm, it is not good for the baby. However, it is recommended that parents can give their babies more hand massage and guide them to grasp to help open their fists.

    When you try to pick up the baby's fingers with your hands, the fingers can be picked apart, and the joints of each finger move freely, if you can't pick it up hard, or the baby's finger joints can't move, you have to pay attention. Because the baby's hand movements are closely related to brain development, especially when the baby's little hands are still tightly held after 4 months, it is necessary to pay attention to take the baby to the doctor for examination in time.

    It is just a normal physiological phenomenon for the baby to clench his hands into fists, and some mothers do not understand, and even forcibly break the baby's hands, which is not advisable. Your baby's bones and muscles are very fragile, which can hurt a lot.
