Does your baby mostly use one hand?

Question

My LO only uses his right to grab toys. I put something in his left and he moves it to the right lol.

Answer

"Many parents start to imagine that their baby is left- or right-handed based on the percentage of time their 4- or 5-month-old reaches awkwardly with one hand or the other for an object that is held in front of them. But simple one-handed grasp actions are easy to do with the non-dominant hand (you do this every day) so trying to identify the preferred hand so early isn’t likely to be very predictive (at least not of left-handedness because nearly all babies end up right-handed). Handedness becomes more predictable when babies start to use both hands to explore objects. Older babies will use one hand to grasp and the other to keep objects steady or to manipulate them. When they start to play with toys in more complex ways (stacking, pulling them apart, putting them in and out of containers), they are more likely to use a dominant hand. Babies tend to be older (18 to 24 months) before handedness becomes more consistent."

Answer

Crazy fact all babies should be using both hands equally...till 2 yrs old.

Answer

My girl is 100% left handed. I am too and LOVE it so I hope she doesn't grow out of it! I give her stuff equally in both hands or put it in the middle but she always goes in with the left.
