He reaches equally well with either hand. Hand preference before one year of age is always abnormal and indicates a motor deficit in the non-preferred hand. At this age, the baby is able to transfer an object from hand to hand. By 5 to 6 months, a baby grasps objects that are the size of a cube. An ulnar or palmer grasp is a raking motion with the fingers trapping the object against the palm. The next stage of hand development is to use the thumb in concert with the fingers to grasp an object. This is called a whole hand grasp.
