My little boy is 14 weeks tomorrow and found his hands a few weeks ago, he’s sucking and chewing on his hands all the time which I know is normal for development at this age. However he keeps gagging on them and not really sure whether to let him continue or keep his hands tucked away?

My little girl does this too, she was sick earlier and to be honest I think it was partly because her hands were so far down her throat! I try and occupy her hands by getting her to grab my fingers when she is on me x

I think it's part of them understanding their limits and figuring out what their body does 🤷🏻♀️

I’ve read that you should leave them as they are learning how far they can put things in their mouth before they start to gag so when they are weaning they will know how far they can put food in x
