Left or Right-handed
When did you find out if your DC was right or left-handed?
Is your DC left or right handed?
My DD is 11 months and we've been noticing that she favors her right hand while eating. It's probably too young to say for sure. I'm still rooting for her to join the left-hand club, like mommy.

Re: Left or Right-handed

My DD is only 2 months old, but seems to do alot of stuff with left hand. She never puts her right hand in mouth.

Lefty or Righty?
Help her discover which hand she favors By Alison Bell
Now that your child is starting to grab those crayons and is getting better at using utensils, you might begin to notice that she favors one hand over the other. Kids first start to show their hand preference around age 2, though they’re likely to experiment by switching back and forth. By the time they’re 3, most are fairly consistent in which hand they use to draw, pick up a cup, even reach and wave.
Handedness appears to be an inborn trait, which is why it’s not wise to try to train your child one way — even though the world is designed for right-handed people! If you have a lefty (about 10 percent of kids are), make sure she has left-handed scissors, and seat her to your left so she doesn’t elbow you when she eats. As she draws and starts to write, position paper closer to her left side so she doesn’t have to hook her arm across the top to see what she’s doing. She may also need help learning to write from left to right without smudging — but for now, just make sure to wipe off her crayon-covered left hand before she moves on to something else.

Re: Left or Right-handed
Maddie has to right handed since her left thumb is always in her mouth.
We were told Joseph was ambidexterous by the doctor. He writes left handed though.
