One of my twins (nearly 2) has had a habit for a while of holding water in his mouth and then spitting it down himself, which is annoying enough.
A few days ago I was changing him after lunch before his nap, and he was doing a weird giggle - I noticed he was holding his mouth weirdly. I tried to open his mouth to see what was going on and loads of water dribbled out. He thought this was very funny.
Today, I was putting him down for a nap after lunch. He wouldn’t take his bottle which is weird for him. I left him to go and bring his brother upstairs.
I tried giving him his bottle again and he started giggling - I opened his mouth and he had a mouthful of chewed up crumpet which he wouldn’t swallow. I had to scoop it out. I dread to think what could have happened if he’d fallen asleep with a mouth full of chewed up food - I feel awful for not noticing it sooner.
Has anyone else’s toddler done this? Any idea why or how to stop it? I’m really worried he will choke or something.
