Teething or exploring?

My lo has been eating his fist for a couple weeks knew it was normal just exploring his mouth but now he’s chewing on his finger lol is he still exploring just in a different way or is he trying to start teething also how much longer will this last because he keeps gagging himself and making himself throw up on accident 🤣

My girl is doing this as well, I started giving her toys and crinkle paper books instead

Have they been more fussy or drooling excessively? Those are other signs to look for in teething vs exploring

Mine too!!! I’ve been giving him teething toys when I can but he loves his hands. He’s drooling excessively and the night are rough. A bunch of my mom friends said nights and laying them down are signs of teething

@Tiffani I love that little mit. Genius! Amazon?

@Christine he’s been drooling like crazy for over a month now before all this and he’s going through a 4 month old sleepy regression so he’s definitely fussy but I don’t think there correlated he’s don’t act like his gums hurt at all he doesn’t understand teething toys yet he only knows how to suck so he tries to suck everything instead lol

@Tiffani I think it’s his new way of exploring as well but I’m definitely going keep an eye out

You should buy your LO this teething toy. My son was also putting his hand and fingers in his mouth so I bought him this and he loves it! https://a.co/d/g3w6H49

I just got this today in the mail for my son and i put jt on the hand hes allways sucking on. He likes it.

@Jasmine F we have a few and one jsut like this that’s an elephant he just hasn’t figured em out yet he wants to suck on em like a paci

@Jay Yes he loves it! I bought it at a local baby store, but I'm sure you can find them on Amazon too!

How old

My babe started at 3 months and it seems to start off as just exploring and go into teething for most people she’s about to be 5 months on the 17th and still chews on her hands lmao just this week I’ve seen actual signs of teeth and feel them trying to come surface level but I’ve read that teething symptoms can start over a month before teeth actually start trying to appear

Omg the gagging yes my daughter has been doing the same thing multiple times a day she hasn’t puked from it but gags so hard then looks at me like I did it to her I’m like girlllll you’re doing it to yourself 🤣😅

@Ebony 16 weeks he turned 4 months this Monday

@Gillian really hmm I definitely keep an eye out
