Perhaps you can direct Charlie's interest in coins to have him put them into a piggy bank instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-put-coins-in-their-mouth-how-do-you-control-all-of-your-pocket-change#post-101263 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 08:28:14 +0000 Andrea 101263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: that makes sense. They are bite sized. Maybe he thinks they are like candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-put-coins-in-their-mouth-how-do-you-control-all-of-your-pocket-change#post-101257 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 08:10:56 +0000 mrbee 101257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Not sure why, but coins have a special appeal that paper money just can't match! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-put-coins-in-their-mouth-how-do-you-control-all-of-your-pocket-change#post-101235 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 07:19:28 +0000 heffalump 101235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She likes to put anything and everything in her mouth. We always make sure there's nothing sharp or small within her reach. She doesn't crawl yet so it's been easy so far.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-put-coins-in-their-mouth-how-do-you-control-all-of-your-pocket-change#post-101232 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 07:15:10 +0000 Andrea 101232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! What about paper money? Does he think it is like seaweed? Lol. I never have coins laying around. DH does but he keeps it up high so the LO can't reach yet. The LO is good about not putting random stuff into her mouth, though, so I don't think we would need to worry about that anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-put-coins-in-their-mouth-how-do-you-control-all-of-your-pocket-change#post-101194 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 06:03:38 +0000 chopsuey 101194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha. So cute. ("I want to eat money!") :)<br /> DH and I don't use cash so we don't have to worry about coins.. for now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-put-coins-in-their-mouth-how-do-you-control-all-of-your-pocket-change#post-101193 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 05:31:37 +0000 mrbee 101193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie was great about not putting coins in his mouth for the longest time! It was wonderful, because we didn't need to be as vigilant about making sure nickels, dimes and quarters weren't around on tables or the floor.</p> <p>But then recently, he started put coins in his mouth. I realized it was really bad when he told me, "I want to eat money!" So now we really work hard to stick all of our change into our change jar. It's actually more like a neverending war to see who can find our change first: us or Charlie!</p> <p>Does your LO like to put coins in their mouth? How do you control all of your pocket change? </p>
