Chewing on blankets? Teething?
So my 11 week old started stuffing her security blanket in her mouth and chewing on it. I keep having to pull it out and she'll do it again. I mean it looks like she's chowing down on that poor zebra blanket haha. I was wondering if that is a sign of teething or do they just do that?? I'm just afraid of her getting lots of fuzz in her mouth but I can't not give her a blanket. All of her blankets have tiny fibers of one kind or another. I try to give her little teething toys but my guess is the blankets are the easiest for her to maneuver with her tiny little hands. Any ideas or moms dealing with the same things?

Re: Chewing on blankets? Teething?
I think it's more of a fixation. Mine likes to have everything in his mouth to taste or feel it. He likes toys and fingers and even our fingers (if they're clean). He gets excited when we suck on his hands for him too.
It's a sensory exploration thing...
P.S. Ours likes to suck on taggies blankets - they're blankets made with colorful tags all the way around you can give to them. The actual blanket part is small and square so they won't suffocate on them. Ours was a gift but we found some at Target for a friend of ours with twins.
