She doesn't put any of her books or stuffed animals in her mouth anymore, but basically anything new goes in her mouth immediately. She can follow directions to take things out of her mouth, but if it's a piece of debris on the floor, she is super quick at putting it in her mouth so I have to watch her closely when we go somewhere new </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587655 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:16:09 +0000 Honeybee 587655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They eventualy stop doing this?! DD's 2.5 and I still have to tell her not to eat stuff off the floor, to remove objects from her mouth, to take her fingers out of her mouth, etc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587575 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:51:00 +0000 mrs. wagon 587575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: it basically went on until he could follow directions to not put something in his mouth!!</p> <p>but not all kids go that long, of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587568 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:48:40 +0000 littlek 587568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Wow...

I accidentally dropped his frozen baby food (I make his baby food and then freeze) on our floor and DH freaked. I washed it off, and then I asked him why he was so freaked out, LO puts everything in his mouth anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587499 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:35:50 +0000 sarac 587499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 17 months my daughter mostly doesn't do it, but by no means is it gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587498 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:35:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 587498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not til almost 2 :( but it's such a relief when they stop!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587496 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:34:42 +0000 mediagirl 587496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL great question. My LO is 8 months old and loves to eat anything she can get her hands on. Last night while I was cooking dinner, she got a hold of a box and ate part of the top! No wonder she's stopped up....all that fiber.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587490 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:33:33 +0000 winniebee 587490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months and he still does it constantly. It's kind of funny, there's a little divot in a tile on our kicthen floor (tile is tan and divot is black) and he constantly tries to pick up the divot and eat it..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587484 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:32:09 +0000 plaidpants 587484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 14 months and she's better than a vacuum cleaner when it comes to finding debris on the floor and sucking it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587457 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:27:15 +0000 autumnlove 587457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, my LO still does it at 14 months! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-putting-things-in-their-mouth#post-587449 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:26:19 +0000 luckypenny 587449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so ready for the "put everything in my mouth and eat it" stage to be over! I can't even really give DD board books unless I'm holding her/it because she will eat all the cardboard! Every piece of my husbands sick fuzz on the floor? She eats it! My hair? Eats it. </p>
