Baby favoring left hand?

Question

I’ve heard babies aren’t supposed to already favor one hand yet, but mine totally uses her left hand more. She has no problem turning her head and looking from right to left and there’s no chin turn in, indicating that she doesn’t have any muscular problem. She just tends to prefer to use her left hand over right. She’s 10 weeks old. Could she already be showing signs that she’s left hand dominant?

Answer

My son always favored his left hand when he was a newborn and even an infant. He’s now a toddler and it has definitely shifted to right hand. He still will grab things sometimes with left hand but when he is scribbling on paper, he holds the crayon in his right hand. I never hand things to a certain hand either, I just hold it out and let him grab so he can figure out which is dominant on his own.

Answer

Both mine favored their left hand when they were really small and even when they started eating with utensils. They are now 3 and 22 months and are both right handed. I think it’s normal for them to switch back and forth until they figure out which one is better for them. I thought for sure one of mine would stay left handed but nope.

Answer

My 4 year old favored his left as an infant and now uses both hands. He does strongly prefer the left hand for writing.

Answer
