I took DD to story time at our local library for the first time today. Towards the end they brought out a bunch of toys and just let the LOs sit around and play. M immediately grabbed the toys and put them in her mouth (she is 4 1/2 months old and has been drooling like crazy so I think we're in the beginning stages of teething). She was the youngest baby there and the other babies/toddlers were all actually playing with the toys. I didn't see any of them putting them in their mouths.
So what is appropriate in this situation? Is it just assumed that babies are going to put stuff in their mouths and let her do it? Next time should I bring her winkel and Sophie from home and let her chew on those instead? Because they are the library's toys I am just not sure if I should let her go to town with them (I ended up not letting her chew on them and just let her grab them/waved them in front of her). What would you do?
