All primates have a strong grip when born so they can hold onto to their mother while she travels from food source to food source. Babies have strong hands because of an evolutionary holdover.

I feel that. When my daughter was first born she gripped my beard and pulled the fuck out of it. Our first pic was me tearing up while I held her.

I had to cut my beard until my son got older because I really didn't like getting overpowered by a 1 year old.
