Accepted Answer

It sounds reassuring that she’s rolling and reaching out for cloths. Some babies take a little longer to consistently grasp toys. Keep offering rattles or soft toys during tummy time.

Accepted Answer

Thanks Mam
She rolled over at 3.5 months from back to Tummy. She is always on her mat only Mam. I saw the videos even my first baby did grasping and holding things at this time. that's why I have fear.

Mam whatever you are mentioning is completely normal this is absolutely no problem in any details that you have mentioned but currently looking at the age of the child I would advise you to put a mattress on the floor and leave the child on that because with which the child will have ample of space to do the activities you will also not have a fear that the child will fall down and also check if the child is stealing because if the child is constantly taking hand and finger into the mouth or even your toes then it is a sign of teething so check with your doctor once and introduced tablet number 21 under homeopathy and also  Babyhug teeher
