Age you noticed handedness?

Nina (at 22 months) is still using both hands. For a while there we thought she may be left handed, but she's gone back to using both.

My DD is 2 1/2 and still using both hands aswell.

A few times I have been sure that she is a lefty but she usually goes back to using both again.

DD is definitely showing a preference for being right handed and she is not yet 2 1/2. She will "write" with her crayon and colour in using her right hand consistently. She was using both hands until she was about 2 and since then has been gradually using her right hand more and more.

Oscar uses both hands but he seems to use his right more than his left. With saying that he is confident with his left though. So he has me confused I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I was wondering about this too. I've already put down bet's with my family that Flynn is going to be a lefty. He is always shoving his left hand into his mouth. He shoves both in don't get me wrong but the left seems to be the favored one....guess we'll wait and see (I'm sure I'll be proved wrong! )

DD is still using both hands, but i always pass into her right hand, to encourage right-handedness (if she's left-handed i can't change it but if she's between the two i can), and she's gradually using it more and more over the left. She holds the fork in her left hand, but she manipulates the food onto it with her right. I think by the time they're 3 or so they're pretty much set in whichever hand is dominant.

Really? Why?
