DD just turned 9 months and is getting much more consistent with it. I think DS was right around the same age.

My DD was early, she started at 7.5 months. It was around 8.5m until she only fed herself per pincer grasp.

@Mrs.KMM: hey there! our LO's are pretty much the same age, and J is just getting the hang of it now. I would say that even 2 weeks ago though, she was just mashing everything. It was like a light bulb went on! hahah she still palms some of her food, especially the soft banana-type stuff, but she's gotten pretty good at the pincer grasp in the last week or so!

I just realized this morning he had it at 8 months (tomorrow).

I think we are getting close. I notice DS will use his pincer grasp when he grabs smaller things like my necklace or tags on toys. With food he tries but gets exhausted by it and reverts back to his fist. He actually face planted into his food because he got so frustrated by not being able to put food in his mouth. I think it's soon though!

I wasn't paying super close attention to this, but DD is 10.5 months and I've only recently noticed her doing the pincer grasp. But part of that could be we weren't really giving her tiny things to practice on? Just big chunks of food she could pick up in her fist. She's using it to pick up Cheerios now.

It was before Christmas, so about 8-8.5 months. I remember because he was trying to pick little specks of food off the kitchen floor and put them in his mouth. Ew!

right around nine months.
