IRON (AHY ern) replaces iron that is essential to healthy red blood cells. Iron is used to treat iron deficiency anemia. Anemia may cause problems like tiredness, shortness of breath, or slowed growth in children. Only take iron if your doctor has told you to.
While most babies will start developing the pincer grasp near nine months of age, some babies may also reach the milestone after their first birthday. There is no need to worry if your baby is reaching other milestones, at a comfortable pace.
DD started doing the pincer grasp at 6 months (she's 8 months now). I think DS took a little bit longer. Of course all kids are different. Why don't you try giving him some cheerios or better yet, those Gerber poofs.
