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?

Play more nursery rhymes to him. Last time at a playgym the teacher was sharing with us that when a baby can crawl or hold objects with both hands or pass things from one hand to the other, it is because their brains can balance out the usage left and right brains. Nursery rhymes help in achieving that because music stimulates right brain while the lyrics language part stimulates left brain. Give your baby an oball toy?
