you mean it stops???????????? DS1 is 12.5 and he still chews everything. The DTs are 15months and they chew everything. And DDs1&2 (10 & 6.5) still chew everything

no help huh?

Hiya Chuffed.

DS has stopped chewing most things, but has started picking up the tiniest crumbs and eating them. He either ate a "found raisin" or a spider the other day

DS is 18mo, and stills puts a lot of stuff in his mouth. Maybe its related to teething as well as just a way exploring everything around them?

dd does still only have 5 teeth (I think)
She does pick up the occasional thing off the ground (like hunks of dirt) but it is the diprobase tube, computer mouse, wooden spoons etc that I thought she would have grown out of chomping.
