feeding himself, but not with pincher grasp

yepyepsms · March 2013

We've started offering finger foods in the last two weeks, and DS is getting the hang of it now, but, does not use a pincher grasp. He grabs with his whole fist, then puts about half his fist in his mouth, then I assume gets the food out with his tongue. I know in time the pincher grasp will come, but just curious, was this how your LO started out, and then eventually started pincher grasping? Not stressing, just curious how this usually goes. PS - do you undress your LO for meals? My son gets SO much food on himself, even with a bib. Thinking about going nakey+diaper if we're at home:) I don't care about the mess, but seriously have to change his outfit everytime!
