He uses his right to eat and draw. But for everything else, he switches back and forth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-224018 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:00:47 +0000 skibobrown 224018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting! Sounds like lots of babies develop their left side first. I would have thought it would be the opposite... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223494 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 08:34:37 +0000 LivsMama 223494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around that age, Liv favored her left hand. Her pincer grasp developed more quickly on her left hand as well, but as soon as her right caught up, she displayed pretty dominant right hand preference (shes about a year old) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223472 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 08:09:41 +0000 Andrea 223472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2 and still goes back and forth but does favor her right hand. I think she has always favored it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223455 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 07:59:04 +0000 loveisstrange 223455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is 3 months and definitely favors her left hand. We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223453 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 07:58:18 +0000 regberadaisy 223453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly believe most babies start out as lefties! My nieces and nephews all started out as lefties. Nephew 1 is now ambidextrous like his dad, nephew 2 is a lefty and niece is a righty.</p> <p>M is a lefty right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223449 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 07:57:34 +0000 lavender 223449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is about 4 mths old and favors her left hand as well. She likes to suck her left thumb (and hand) and grabs with that hand as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223280 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:45:20 +0000 cyndistar3 223280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's about when I was sure my lo was going to be a lefty but everyone was telling me there was no way I could tell that early... well guess who is still a lefty 3 years later? lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223278 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:43:15 +0000 Boogs 223278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 15 months and looking like a righty, but we'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/righty-or-lefty#post-223276 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:35:37 +0000 skibobrown 223276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When could you tell if your child was a righty or a lefty? ...and which one did they end up being? Our daughter is 3.5 months old right now, and she is definitely much better at using her left hand for grabbing and manipulating toys. I'm wondering if this is a sign that she is going to be a lefty, or if it's just a fluke. Any ideas? </p>
