R ate those before puffs cause it was bigger and she could pick those up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neurotic-ftm-worrylo-wont-put-anything-in-his-mouth#post-1448954 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:28:30 +0000 Weagle 1448954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it at this stage. FWIW, my LO was never really into putting things in her mouth. 9 times out of 10, if she did it was related to teething not just to try to eat the object. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neurotic-ftm-worrylo-wont-put-anything-in-his-mouth#post-1448949 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:26:53 +0000 Ra 1448949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I haven't tried walking away yet. I'll try that tonight. I also picked up some mum cookies today to see if he will eat them. </p> <p>I know I sound like a nut-bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neurotic-ftm-worrylo-wont-put-anything-in-his-mouth#post-1448931 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:20:30 +0000 Smurfette 1448931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it. Just be glad that he doesn't put everything in his mouth, it is super annoying and gross. </p> <p>I want to say 8 months is when R started getting good about eating puffs and 9 months wanting to feed herself. But she still has no issues with us feeding her applesauce. </p> <p>Do you just put puffs on the tray? R does better with new things when we aren't watching her/sitting in front of her. If I give her something on a plate and go in the kitchen, so I can see and hear her, she does so much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neurotic-ftm-worrylo-wont-put-anything-in-his-mouth#post-1448901 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:10:35 +0000 Ra 1448901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it seems like a good problem to have but I worry nonetheless. LO (8 months) doesn't put anything in his mouth. He never tries to put toys in his mouth and won't take a teether/mesh feeder. He's never taken a pacifier and instead just sucks on his tongue.</p> <p>I worry because isn't this technically a mile stone? Everything I read says that he should be putting everything in his mouth at this age and warns about sensory processing disorders.</p> <p>He will eat purées from a spoon, and will eat pretty much anything from my plate if I feed it to him, but shows zero interest in feeding himself. </p> <p>Does anyone else have an LO who just isn't a mouther? Did he/she have any issues self feeding? </p>
