Putting everything in her mouth

So at what age is it time for little ones to stop putting everything in their mouths? I know that is a way they explore in the beginning, but my LO wants to put everything in her mouth and I feel like not correcting her may be creating a habit that will be difficult to break?

    If it's something that doesn't belong in her mouth, I'd say to remove it and redirect. I think that's a good habit to start early.

    I think some childrens are naturally more orally fixated than others. My son, for one, is one of them. I think it depends. Teeth are still coming in, putting things in their mouth not only is a way for them to explore but also a way to help relieve discomfort. If it's a toy or bowl or something of that sort, I say let her. If it's a shoe or the broom, probably tell her no. I've got to think, eventually, she'll learn what is okay and what is not.
