Newborn
Babies Have a Monkey-Strength Grip An infant's grip is so strong that he can support his own
weight if you dangle him. The reflex is called the palmar grasp, and
it happens when you stroke an infant's palm or put anything in his
hand . The instinct doesn't just appear out of nowhere at birth,
either. It's seen even in the womb. In fact, anti-abortion activists
have used images of babies grasping the hands of their surgeon during
in utero operations as propaganda for their cause.
