I think he started at 4 or 5 months? It doesn't seem to bother him much so I try to ignore it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-663425 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:18:25 +0000 Sweet T 663425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry! It's just a phase! We went through this around the one year mark. It didn't last too long. We tried not to give him a reaction and I think that helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-663415 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 00:59:23 +0000 wheres_c 663415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is doing this at 4months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-663002 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 16:44:09 +0000 StbHisMrs 663002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I'm right there with you, I told my dh I was glad he was home, lol. I just shampooed all of our carpets and mopped the floors, I'm not doing them again!</p> <p>She's going to be 18 months soon, could also be a teething thing. I haven't seen her do it again today, fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662967 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 16:10:14 +0000 MamaBehr 662967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS does this too and I HATE it! In fact,on Friday he did it twice so badly he threw up a little. I know it is because his molars are coming in and they are bothering him, but seriously?! I don't do barf, even if it is self inflicted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662925 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 15:16:23 +0000 Tidybee 662925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD did this around 4 months old. I think she spent a day gagging and then never did it again. There wasn't anything I could do. I kept telling her to please stop, but obviously she didn't understand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662870 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:54:04 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 662870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to say he was 14-15 months? It didn't last long -- maybe a week, and mostly when he was in his car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662861 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:41:25 +0000 StbHisMrs 662861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: @Mrs. Yoyo: How old were your LO's when they started doing this? I will try ignoring next time, that is so hard, I really don't want to clean up that mess!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662803 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 12:54:51 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 662803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through a short phase of this, too. I know it's hard, but try to ignore or keep your reaction very low-key. The more you freak, the more she'll want to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662775 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 12:31:57 +0000 rachiecakes 662775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: DS used to do this!! It didn't last very long but he did make himself throw up once.<br /> Apparently the combination of new sensation and parents' hysterical reactions make this move irresistible to LO's...<br /> I found that ignoring him was the trick to get him to stop. It's hard though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662771 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 12:29:38 +0000 mrbee 662771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put some lemon juice on her fingers maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sticking-her-fingers-in-her-mouth-and-gagging-stop#post-662765 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 12:26:13 +0000 StbHisMrs 662765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is new and I don't like it! She's sticking her fingers so far down her throat that she's gagging herself. Then she thinks it's funny, I have no idea how to make her stop. </p>
