Mom of a 4 yr 10 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

My baby is 5 months 3 weeks now. But she does not grab objects placed in front of her during tummy time or sitting time. She can hold them when she is lying down. Seems she is not interested in toys. Is everything ok? We feel her sensory needs are not developed yet. She responds to name and smiles and laughs when we play. What should I do?
