Answer

You let them do it. It’s developmentally normal. They’re learning about their hands. Just like everything else when they start grabbing things, it goes to the mouth

Answer

My baby is doing the same thing, except she doesn’t make herself vomit, but constantly chewing on her hands.

Answer

Babies experience a lot of the world through their mouths. Your baby is learning about hands and it’s totally normal. No need to try to stop it. I imagine your baby will quickly understand that putting the hand in too far caused vomiting and stop doing it.

Answer

Same here. It’s just them exploring. Anything he gets his hands on goes right to mouth.

Answer

My baby is the same. I think he is just exploring and might like the feeling of skin in his mouth... Maybe because it's skin like a boob and sooths him 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Mine is the same. We just got him a teething toy today.

Answer

Mine too. She hasn’t vomited but today she stuck her entire hand in her mouth and started cough choking on her fingers 😳😬

Answer

Yep same choking all the time 😂🙈

Answer

Same here I hate it cause she does it at night so her hands are wet and cold when I get up to nurse her and she grabs my boob with wet cold hands lol

Answer

My son does it too, I just let him go, now he's even just getting the thumb and going to town.🤷🏻‍♀️
