How can I encourage my 9.5m baby to hold objects with both hands? I tried to let him hold his fave toys but he always resist and let go when I release my hands. He only play with one hand, either left or right depending. He is v laid back, not interested in toys and still can't crawl. Sits well and stands w light support. Any has heard of baby as lazy like him? Is this normal?

Hmmmm.... not sure if this is normal, however you can check with his nurses/doctor on the monthly vaccination update. Otherwise, have more outdoor play and stretch his sensory rather than just focusing on him not holding on with his hands. Its more of hand-eye coordination. I would bring him to the beach and let him feel and experience squeezing sand. Let him squeeze sponge or even playing with dough (that you make yourself that is edible). So hand painting. Now is to increase development on his sensory. If you saying his able to hold on to either hand, continue encouraging with things that is easier for the child. Holding a toy could be tough/heavy for him.

i know of few children. they dont crawl at all. sit and just stand. My son crawls for a very brief moment and he is already standing. so it doesn't matter if yours don't crawl.
