Anyone’s baby putting their hand in the mouth constant and gagging?!?!

I know putting their hands in their mouth is a soothing mechanism and a development milestone but my girl is shoving them in and gagging. Don’t seem very soothing lol

Hahha my daughter does this too!! Thankfully she hasn’t made herself throw up but she definitely makes herself gag

MINE TOO! she tries getting her whole hand in her mouth!😂

lol yes

Mine too 😀😀

Yes, this is important for development also because it helps prepare them for eating solids by desensitizing the palette.

Yup lol

YES! Are we supposed to stop them? Because I have been trying to distract him occasionally or else he will gag consistently 😩

Yes, mine did that but learnt now is less hand or just a couple fingers

lol mine. 😂 he’ll do that, gag, then look at ME crazy. I’m like stop putting your fingers down your throat!!

@Bria like we’re the problem 😭

It's cause their gag reflex is alot closer to the front of their mouth

@Angel no. Let them explore. Gagging while mouthing is part of their development. As mentioned in my above comment ❤️

Mine keeps biting himself? All gums but sometimes he's doing the most and yelps/ cries for a sec and then is fine again lol

My baby 🤦🏾‍♀️

My baby does this all day long and it just makes me laugh because I’m like dude what the fuck do you think is gonna happen lol
