chewing on fingers?

momthatlifts

Dd has been chewing on one or two of her fingers for a little less than a week now. I mean she constantly has her fingers in her mouth chewing. I know it normal for them to stick their fingers in there mouth but she's chewing on them. Very focused. Anyone else's babes doing this? What could it be? A new discovery? She is going through a leap if that helps

My DD has been doing that for a few weeks now and the past few days she's started teething really bad :-( Hopefully that's not what you LO is going through but it could be leading up to it.

Could either be the novelty of nomming her hands or teething. Or both.

Ok it is just something I have noticed her doing more than anything. It's just all the time it's hard to miss

My LO has been doing this for a while. If not her hand, she's gumming the life out of Sophie, or her socks, or whatever she can get in her mouth. But fingers are the favourites. She's been teething. My guess is that's what's happening.

Fingers and toes over here!

It's teething.

Yes and she even gags herself with them sometimes. It's hard to get pictures with the hand not in the mouth.

DS has been doing this since 3 months (now 5 months). He has two bottom teeth that poked through last month, but he's still chewing away. I'm wondering when he'll let up. Wet hands and dog fur don't go well together!

Same exact here. DD has been hardcore chewing in her fingers for a few weeks with no sign of teeth popping through. She also chews on the spoon when eating and basically anything BUT her teething toys.

This.

My kids not happy unless she has at least 20% of her fingers in her mouth. It's a phase hopefully she'll get over it before adulthood. :P

She's been doing it for a couple weeks now and I just figured it was from teething.

Same here. Maybe Sophie once in awhile but his favorites are his hands, my hands and his burp cloths.

I got these teething keys that she likes, a friend of my works ate bru and she said toddle tooth brushes are good because it help break the gum and let the tooth through
