He keeps talking about left handed pitchers but I have to remind him that our lo probably won't be playing mlb :) </p> <p>@pinkcupcake: Interesting that they were successful! My brother is a lefty and my mom tried to correct it but it didnt work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-your-lo-was-rightleft-handed#post-1051665 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:56:04 +0000 Freckles 1051665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours switches back and forth, and she's 16.5 months. </p> <p>DH wants LO to be a lefty because it's a much bigger advantage in tennis. ;)<br /> <a href="http://straightsets.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/27/in-choice-of-hands-nadal-is-not-alone/" rel="nofollow">http://straightsets.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/27/in-choice-of-hands-nadal-is-not-alone/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-your-lo-was-rightleft-handed#post-1051642 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:48:07 +0000 pinkcupcake 1051642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondering this too! At 18 months she switches bt right and left hand pretty easily. This morning I saw her using a spoon with her left hand but ystdy she was using it w / her right. My husband should have been a lefty but his grandparents "corrected" him into a righty so I'm interested to see if LO grows up to be a lefty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-your-lo-was-rightleft-handed#post-1051635 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:45:53 +0000 Aimed 1051635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to know too since I am a lefty and am desperate for my LO to be a lefty too because of our infinate superiority :wink:<br /> I keep looking for clues as to how he grabs things etc. but no clues yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-your-lo-was-rightleft-handed#post-1051390 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:31:04 +0000 betsyboop 1051390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read somewhere that you often can't tell until at least 15 months. For our LO, once she started with finger foods (7-8 months) we noticed she used her left hand more. And now at 15 months, she only uses a spoon with her left hand. Could we have a lefty on our hands? </p>
