IRON (AHY ern) replaces iron that is essential to healthy red blood cells. Iron is used to treat iron deficiency anemia. Anemia may cause problems like tiredness, shortness of breath, or slowed growth in children. Only take iron if your doctor has told you to.
While most babies will start developing the pincer grasp near nine months of age, some babies may also reach the milestone after their first birthday. There is no need to worry if your baby is reaching other milestones, at a comfortable pace.
When the infant is five to six months old, he/she will close their fingers and grasp an object placed in his/her hand. Even if something strokes your baby's palm, he/she would immediately close his/her fingers in order to grasp, which is called the palmar grasp. This grip can be strong at times.
