It took me many, many shots, but she was doing it for like 5 min. non-stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975985 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:16:44 +0000 sheskrafty 975985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kaitlyn is sooo cute!! I can't believe you were able to take pictures of it - very impressive!! My LO does this occasionally and I always thought she wanted a pacifier or was hungry - I'm totally stupes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975890 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:50:46 +0000 2PeasinaPod 975890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: These pictures made me laugh...and imagine LO doing the same thing! He does it all the time. Sometimes he'll suck both of his lips in and look like a little old man without his dentures in. Love it! </p> <p>As for teething, he's been doing it far more recently and is teething...so possibly?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975882 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:48:33 +0000 shopaholic 975882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Seriously! I can see like 4 little white points on her bottom gums, but looking at her top gums are near impossible! lol! And yes, she's started following the movements from food to my my mouth! </p> <p>@mrsjyw: :sad: No fun. Ouch!</p> <p>@NaturallyCathy: Whew! TG!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Aww.. Thanks!</p> <p>@hilsy85: Probably that too. But it seems like she's starving. lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975762 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:24:47 +0000 hilsy85 975762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think just developmental, exploring her mouth and the sounds she can make with it, etc. Lo started doing that months before he got any teeth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975720 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:13:42 +0000 MsLipGloss 975720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Your LO is totally nom-able! So sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975712 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:11:56 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 975712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Oh honey, I wasn't trying to imply that she was ready for it! I was just saying that they're practicing and developing that swallowing reflex right about now. They're <i>preparing</i> for cereal and purees but no where near ready yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975459 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:12:22 +0000 Smurfette 975459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R has started smacking her top lip as well. But I didn't even think it could be teething. I am not ready for teething yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975448 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:07:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 975448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: btw, LMW would STARE at us as we ate, grabbed for our food, and smacked her lips as we ate for MONTHS. We tried to introduce solids at 6 months and she hated it. She didn't really start until well past 7 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975446 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:07:23 +0000 mrsjyw 975446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>those lips!!! :D and yep-- that's exactly what A does when he's teething... he did it the last few weeks, you know-- when he was CUTTING FOUR TOP TEETH ALL AT ONCE. UGH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975442 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:06:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 975442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: haha... you need three hands! two to open the mouth and one to push back the tongue!! ;) Although usually you can't even see or feel anything until it's just about to break through, which could take weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975438 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:05:32 +0000 shopaholic 975438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Yikes! This seems too early. I don't want to start solids till 6 months...</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: I wish she'd let me see her gums, but all I get is tongue all over!</p> <p>@tororojo: lol chewing cud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975408 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:58:11 +0000 tororojo 975408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, L does the same thing! But she has been doing it for awhile, definitely before she was teething. I think it's so cute and I love the smacking noise, like she's chewing her cud. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975378 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:49:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 975378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha! in my experience it's always been teething, but that's because my kids started at 3 months so they were always breaking a new tooth!! ;) she is sooooooooo cute!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975372 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:48:28 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 975372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little miss has started doing this too, about two weeks ago. I think it's a deelopmental thing. Getting ready for cereals/purees. I missed the curs with little man. Hers are obvious.</p> <p>But that's just my 2 cents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lip-sucking-smacking-teething#post-975362 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:45:39 +0000 shopaholic 975362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kaitlyn has been doing this lip smacking sucking thing for about a week now. She's also not nursing very long, but I keep offering. I think it must be a teething thing? But to others it looks and sounds like she's hungry and seems like I'm not feeding her enough. Not sure if my supply is low because she can get fussy nursing, or if her teething is bothering her. I can't see anything, though she's been showing teething signs for a few weeks now. Any experienced moms want to give me insight?</p> <p>ETA: Don't mind all the drool rash and scratches she's ben giving herself. :/</p> <p>[attach=2730/13/mqrd84.600x600.image.jpg] </p>
