At ages 0-3 months, infants typically do which of the following?

• A. Self feeding
• B. Grasping
• C. Palmar grasp
• D. Isolated index finger

Answer: (B)

At this stage, what you’re looking for is a basic motor reflex that infants show as a routine part of early development. In the first 0–3 months, babies typically display grasping due to a reflexive response: when something touches the palm, the hand automatically closes around it. This reflexive grasp is commonly described as the palmar grasp reflex, and it’s a normal, early step that lays the groundwork for later, more voluntary grasping.

Self-feeding isn’t possible yet, because coordinated hand–mouth control and the fine motor skills needed for feeding are not developed. The isolated index finger or a refined pincer grip comes much later, as motor control matures. So the broad behavior of grasping best captures what infants typically do in this age range, reflecting the natural reflexive action of the hand turning inward to grip.
