Baby gyms are great for encouraging babies to reach out and grab at what is in front of them. This early skill, although led by their gross motor movements, will support their fine motor skills as they learn that they can use their fingers to grab and bring an object towards them.

Pointing is one of those skills that most of us probably don’t think about much. But you might notice it’s mentioned in different ways in the app. That’s because pointing is pretty amazing – not only does your baby need to understand why they might want (or need) to point, they also need to be able to move one finger without moving the others – pretty skillful, we think!  

When your baby points they are showing that they have developed their hand and finger strength.  

Newborn babies are born with reflexes: primitive responses that we would have needed thousands of years ago to protect ourselves.
