This reaction is called a palmar grasp in a baby. This reaction usually persists until six months of age and sometimes longer in some babies. The babies typically begin to gain control of the grasp around six months. They use this as a method to support an object, and use their fingers as a type of scoop. Around 6-9 months the babies gain enough control to begin pulling their palm towards their face and mouth. This can usually signal the baby is ready to start self-feeding.

What age does a child begin to reach for and grasp objects?
From the moment they are born, a baby will grasp whatever is placed in its hand or palm. After a few months, when they have the ability to see and recognise something as being graspable, they will try to reach for and grasp these objects; once they have some independent movement (crawling, sliding, rolling, walking, etc.) they will most likely be at the stage where they can firmly hold an object and also know they are holding it.
