Gagging

Heyjordynhey Heyjordynhey member
in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
Ds is 14 months old and has figured out how to gag himself with his fingers. He thinks it's funny ha ha but now it's getting to the point where he does it and throws up. Idk how to correct this other than telling him no we don't put our fingers in our mouth. But no luck so far. He esp likes to do it while were driving in the car,& it scares me Bc I think he's choking but he's not... Help please

    Our DD is 13 months and has been sticking her fingers in the back of her mouth and causing herself to occasionally throw up this week. After racking our brains wondering if its food, milk of still remnants of a stomach bug from last week we are thinking she is doing it because her molars are trying to come in. She recovered after the stomach bug and was fine until Tues and Wed this week at the sitters and the sitter noticed after she got sick she was sticking those fingers way back in her mouth and chewing.

    I know this is not going to be a popular possible solution but at home we keep her paci within reach and she puts it in her mouth when she wants (not all the time but has the option). She is not gagging herself with her fingers at home, only at the sitters where her paci is not where she can get it when she wants. Our trial solution is to keep the paci attached to her at the sitters and if it is her molars we are hoping after they come in she won’t be sticking her fingers way back in her mouth to chew on them. Not sure sure if your DS could be doing it because his molars are trying to come in and he also wants something to chew on? Interested in hearing any other Momma’s seeing a similar issue and their thoughts. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

    That's interesting I haven't thought to look to see if he has molars coming thro. Sadly he doesn't use a paci anymore. He did until he got his first tooth then lost interest in it all together. I'm going to look to see if that's the reason why when he wakes up. If he does have molars coming in, I'll just give him something to chew on. I never thought about it being related to teething!

    I thought my kid was the only one! Haha, it's nice to know that we aren't alone. We have also suspected that our little girl has some molars coming in so there must be a connection. Hopefully once they pop up the gagging will stop!

    Our LO does this when he's having teething pain.  His 2-yr molars are coming in on the bottom, and when he's really in pain, he'll get upset and stick his entire hand in his mouth to the point where he gags.  That's our cue for the tylenol!

    Heyjordynhey, I hope giving DS something to chew on is the answer and if the molars are coming in, they come in quick. It is nice to know we are not alone!
