Question by S.Z.: Is this an infant milestone or “stage”?
So for the past few weeks my son has been doing this thing where he has decided to share. He will be eating a biscuit and then will offer it to me lol. He will be eating cereals or crackers and take a bite and then offer me a bite and then take a bite and so on…

And he does it with toys. He will hand his toy to me as if he wants to share but then holds his hand out to get it back but then gives it back to me and so on.

I very distinctly recall more than a few babies in my family doing this exact same thing. I remember being offered a lot of slobbered on biscuits and playing the “sharing game” with cousins and nieces and such…

Is this considered a “stage” or “milestone” or a common phase because it seems a lot of babies do this?

I’d say it is a common phase. Most babies do go through that at some point. Then by the time they are 2 or 3 they are extremely selfish and don’t want to share anything
