hi,
my son is around 1 and half years old. still he keeps putting everything into his mouth. i am finding it very distrubing as he mouths sand, pebbles, coins. i tired running behind him and taking it out of his mouth. pls tell me when generally kids stop mouthing these things.or how can i make him stop it. i am worried abt his safety.
Mel replied. YOU have to make the changes. Whenever I walk from room to room, I' m constantly scanning it for things that are small in size that he could put into his mouth. I keep all such things out of reach. Make sure all cabinets and drawers which he has access to, do not contain any such items. I keep all tiny things away from him, but still, sometimes the maid may leave something within his reach or my husband leaves his keys or coins around, so I have to be vigilant all the time. gayathriram replied. hi divya
i am also sailing n same boat as u, i have a 14 month old toddler she also puts anything and everything into her mouth unfortunately there is nothing that v can do to stop it,ven i asked my ped he said that its vvv common among babies and toddlers to put things into their coz thats their sense of feelings things,some do til they r 3 yrs old .
