Is she going to be left handed?

Question

My little lady who is 14 weeks, seems to prefer her left hand. That’s the hand she tends to chew and grab her toys with. We also have her changing table and play mats positioned so that we interact with her more on the left side. However, I try and engage both hands but she still seems to prefer her left hand. 
Not that we care either way, but just wondering if this could be an indication that she might be left handed?

Answer

Hand dominance doesn’t emerge until much later. Whatever she’s doing now is not an indication of which side will be dominant. Her brain hasn’t reached that level of development yet. But crossing the midline and using both hands together are important skills to encourage.

Answer

My baby has always favoured his left hand, he's 4 months now and we said from the beginning we think he is going to be left handed, he still uses his other one and passes toys from one hand to the other etc but that's the one he will go to use first
