Let hand skills
help you guess . . .
how old are these babies?
A. a baby learns to make his hands "mind" his mind,, new
hand skills develop in orderly sequence month after month.
Some advance faster than others but if you know what to
look for, you can guess a baby's age pretty well by watching
what he can do with his hands. How are your guesses on the
ages of the babies with the busy hands below?
M
Hangs on so tight he
can support his own
weight! This strongman
hand is a newborn's but
his grasp is a reflex action,
not mind-directed. Baby's
tiny hand soon "loses its
grip," can't hold this tight
again for many months.
Uses both hands at
once, and each follows
separate orders such as
"Hold this toy, pick up
that one." Easily shifts
things from hand to hand.
What do these clues add
up to? More than likely a
seven-month-old.
Picks up the tiniest
things with his new-found
"tongs" thumb and
forefinger working to
gether like a precision
tool. This exciting skill
a helpful step to self
feeding usually shows up
by baby's ninth month.
Menu-balancing help for busy days
How to "sit pretty" when
you're expecting
Steering a spoon from dish to mouth
is a hand skill few babies manage

helps; so do extra-good foods to practice
on such as Heinz'. 7 High Meat Dinners,
containing 3 times the usual amount of
meat. Tasty examples new Chicken a
la King and new Chicken with Rice.

"balance" baby's menu, creamy vege
tables. Strained and Junior.

Baby on the way? When you sit
down, start like this: put one foot slightly
, back of the other, bending knee. Use leg
muscles not back muscles to lower
yourself into the chair. Feels better . . .
looks better, too!
