How to serve by age
6–8 months
Slice pancake into finger-width strips. Hold-size check: it should stick out above a closed fist, which is what the palmar (whole-hand) grasp needs at this stage.
9–12 months
Cut into small bite-sized squares. These smaller pieces are sized for the pincer grasp (thumb and forefinger) that develops around 9 months.
Paediatric note
Never add honey or added sugars to baby pancakes under 12 months; ripe banana provides ideal natural sweetness.
