haha yes same!!! and drooling 😂

All day long. It’s so gross 😂

Yes!! 😂 I’ve started wiping her hands down with a lukewarm towelette before bed

Yep! 😆 Other than milk that’s all my LO wants to eat.

Yes! I rolled up his little sleeves and washed them! Because I had just bathed him! 😂 took his lil self right to the sink. I thought it was a hunger cue until like 2 days ago!! Apparently completely normal! 😬

Omg my 3.5 mo old just started she gnaws at her fist Im like hello honey bunch are you teething like what's going on 😂🫠

Yeap, i clean her handd with each diaper change now...and the droool too.

Same here, i got confused between hand chewing and hunger cues

Alllll day 🥴 and if it’s not her own hands, she’ll chew on my hands/arms leaving us both covered in drool 🫣

@Alison yes! He gnaws on my arm fat 😂 and licks me. Makes me cringe lol

Yes- putting aquaphor on and mittens at night lol

All of the above

Yes! Lol how funny so many are doing the same😄

Omg yes! She would much rather munch on her hands than a binky most times🤣

That and blowing raspberries at me covering me in spit and milk 🥲

Mine likes to blow raspberries as he’s being changed on the changing table or when he’s laying down on his back and it’s a riot!!

@Lizzy mine little one too!

Hahaha yesss!’ This is my 3.5 month son! We’ve had to buy one of those mouthing mittens that have ridges on the end so that we can redirect his chewing to something other than his bare hands. It’s a self-soothing mechanism and it happens due to increased awareness of their hands :) soooo much drool to wipe, though!

Oh yeah they’re his favorite thing lately it’s so cute

Omg I keep telling him we don’t eat the hands😂

Same here but my lil one also makes himself throw up - so there’s that! I’ve gotten him 5 different teething toys- no thank you! He even tries to stick a finger and suck while breastfeeding, lol!

My older two kids never did it this much… this kid though… it’s his favorite thing to do 😂

I just got mine the mushroom teether from Nuby and he’s obsessed his eyes opened so wide 😂

@Lizzy THIS! 😂

Yes!!! I’m trying to break the habit bc he’s now getting too excited over them and gagging himself 😅

Omg yes!!😂😂 I’ve bought him the teething toy that he’s supposed to chew on instead but he’ll hold it in his hand and STILL chew his hand 😂

Yes! Same here! 😁

my baby alllll day long

Yess!!! It’s like his favorite snack
