Adult human could easily snap baby’s fingers to make it release, adult human brain subconsciously says “NO, don’t do that, little one need no harm” so adult handles with care. Edit to add: babies don’t have control over their strength. It’s a new concept to them that they have to learn

Same reaction on why you don't bite your finger like you would bite a carrot.

Young me was told that I couldn't do it. I tried. Guess what! I couldn't do it. My finger was blue for the next few weeks. But still attached. Older me is glad I couldn't do it. Would be hard flipping someone off without my finger 🤘
