Putting things in mouth

[tweenies]

Can anybody help I have a 19 month old niece who is always putting things in her mouth she swallowed a twenty pence the other day only knew she had done this when her gran found it in her sick after she'd done it.

I have a 22 month old who has never really done this only at an early age an grew out of it thought she would have been the same.

in all honesty that is waht 'some' chuildren do...

you just have to watch them like hawks until they out grow it!

mine is 2 and a quarter and still doing it !

mines nearly 10 still doing it!!!!

blimey, I keep hoping it will stop! Everything we have is chewed

tweenies just found old thread about this- 9th august "chewing t.shirt" if your interested. hope it helps.

dd never did this as a toddler - I got some pretty strange looks when I was having a proud mummy moment when she was 15months and I was gushing about how clever she was being able to put hats on the little playmobil people. I didn't realise at the time that you could let most toddlers that age near something that tiny

However she is now four, and puts things in her mouth quite a lot! I don't know why, she just likes doing it....sorry doesn't help
