My 2nd is totally orally fixated (1st never put ANYTHING in his mouth). It's like I'm a first time mom dealing with him, I'm always on edge! Today he threw up a dog food kibble, sticker and a piece of mulch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901381 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 17:45:02 +0000 JennyPenny 2901381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: if it makes you feel better my 5 year old still does stuff like this occasionally, but the chew jewelry like @MrsSRS recommended helped a TON this time last year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901380 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 17:01:38 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2901380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea, my 3 1/2 DD licked the steering wheel of the car cart at the grocery store this morning. Then did it a second time after getting in trouble for the first time 🤦‍♀️ the worst part was they didn't have the cart wipes, so there's no telling how nasty it was 🤢 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901377 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 14:17:49 +0000 LadyDi 2901377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: thank you for the link!</p> <p>@crazydoglady: Yeah we took his pacifier away a month or two ago and I was hoping the oral fixation would resolve itself but it’s probably just gotten worse. </p> <p>@pachamama: it was so horrifying, I just started screaming lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901375 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 13:50:46 +0000 Kemma 2901375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: my toddler was licking the handle on the shopping cart on Thursday!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901374 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 13:00:40 +0000 pachamama 2901374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am dying imaging him licking the floor 😂😂😂😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901372 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 12:38:47 +0000 SweetCaroline 2901372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend something similar to @MrsSRS: to fulfill the need to place something his mouth. They also make bracelets for that purpose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901371 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 12:29:21 +0000 crazydoglady 2901371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can only think of a pacifier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901370 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 11:14:16 +0000 MrsSRS 2901370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chewelry-Sensory-Chew-Necklace-Girls/dp/B07MXRB7S6/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=chew+necklace&#038;qid=1572711205&#038;sprefix=chew&#038;sr=8-7" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Chewelry-Sensory-Chew-Necklace-Girls/dp/B07MXRB7S6/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=chew+necklace&#038;qid=1572711205&#038;sprefix=chew&#038;sr=8-7</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901369 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 11:13:02 +0000 MrsSRS 2901369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a sensory chew necklace from Amazon to redirect and eventually the need tapered off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-puts-everything-in-his-mouth#post-2901364 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 09:22:13 +0000 LadyDi 2901364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 21 months and still puts everything in his mouth, not little pieces like legos or marbles, it seems like he likes to hold toys and gnaw on them. He’ll lick mirrors, the doors, his high chair. The other day we were at the pediatrician and he licked the exam table and the floor. THE FLOOR! He’s not teething, he’s always been like this. Any ideas on how to stop it? I try redirect him but if I took away every toy he put in his mouth he wouldn’t have anything to play with. </p>
