LO did this too... I thought he was just sucking/licking his fingers to get all the food because he was still learning how to get stuff in his mouth. I want to say it's normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sucking-hand-while-eating#post-1816125 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:50:58 +0000 gingerbebe 1816125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teething? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sucking-hand-while-eating#post-1815915 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:05:45 +0000 Purpledaisy 1815915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO did the same thing. She's always been a major finger sucker. She grew out of it though, took her maybe a month or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sucking-hand-while-eating#post-1815791 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 10:54:50 +0000 Skadi 1815791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO does this too. Evidently, everything tastes better with a side of fingers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sucking-hand-while-eating#post-1815771 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 10:48:00 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1815771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we started solids at about 5.5 (6.5months old now) months with DD. Things have been going great! She eats really well and seems to enjoy it. The only thing now is she just recently started shoving her fist/fingers in her mouth right after we give her a spoonful of puree. She won't even try to swallow before shoving her hand in and it gets all over her arm/face/hand/tray etc. I know solids are messy, but this is ridic. Lol. Any thoughts on why she does this?? </p> [attach=1468/14/naazzt.338x600.IMAG3822.jpg]
