@Michelle link please?
You can buy teethers that are on a mitten. I got one from Amazon.
Mine is doing this at almost 2 months. Could it really be teething or just something she likes to do?
My doing same, 11weeks old.
My little one is doing that too. He prefers his hands even over a teething ring, sometimes even his dummy or bottle. Apparently it’s a sign of teething. He’s also drooling so much!
Gummee Teethings mitten, incredible and totally worth every penny xx
My 3 month old is currently doing this and I just have to constantly have a bib on her and give her toys
My daughter did this as a baby and would put her toes in her mouth
My 9m LG does this...recently decided to go back to her feet 🤢 but she has also got 2 bottom teeth and started biting her wrist :/ I'm unsure if it's when she's hungry or if she's doing it for sensory or attention, but I'm swaying more towards the hunger with her. I tried everything I possibly could with her, teething glove, toys, nothing worked 🤦♀️
My 3 month old does this, I’ve put it to teething coz she dribbles a lot
100% happening here too since 10 weeks old! Nightmare when he vomits from pushing too far in
He is toothing
My son is doing that too and it is part of teething that I bought him a little teething toy that looks like a pacifier and he will chew on that for awhile and then look at it then put it next to him.
My three years old son either likes pacifier or finger in the mouth. The weird thing is that he never likes pacifier until two years old when my little son born!
My son is 10 months and he still does this sometimes.

Yeah, some kids just like the sensation or it's something new.
My daughters been chewing on her hands and putting everything in her mouth for about 2 months now, she just turned 6 months. And no teeth yet. And tooooons of drool, everywhere.
My son does it and the dr said it’s itchy gums.
My daughter does the same thing I’m hoping she’ll grow out of it with some reinforcement. In the meantime it’s adorable to watch 😄
My 9 month old still occasionally does it. It’s part of learning cause and effect. My daughter has made herself throw up form it a few times😅 but he’ll grow out of it!
They grow out of it.

Yess my son has been teething since he was 2 months old so he chews on his fingers and hands a lot and drools quite a bit as well
My daughter is a month and a half and she does it all the. And she is eating at least 5 oz to 8 oz and she naps really good also she is drooling a lot as well can she be teething ?

Most likely because drooling is apart of teething and chewing on hands and fingers are signs on teething as well
I've had the same problem. Seems like hes teething and he isnt interested in the tethers or pacifiers but loves his and my hand and sometimes gag on them from trying to attack them
My son does the same thing except her isn't gagging yet
My 8 week old started this about 2 weeks ago. Makes her so happy. She gags sometimes lol but they're just learning. Eventually they learn it's not best to put ur whole fist in ur mouth.
My little guy did/does that from 2 months. He will be 6 months on April 30th and just got his first tooth on Sunday. We initially thought he might be teething early with all the drool and gumming he was doing but it turned out he just loves his hand that much. Whenever we saw his thumb go in by itself we would pull his hand out. I’d rather him have a paci than his thumb bc I can take a paci away and not his thumb.... I have a relative that sucked their thumb until she was 13 ish and only stopped bc she had to get braces.
My 12 week old LG is exactly the same, the health visitor said it was perfectly normal - sensory development, it’s how they explore things xx

My boy used to do this constantly! I got him a “munch mitt” but it didn’t work for him. He just loves that flesh lol. He’s now 22 months and nothing. Don’t stress. I think it’s okay as long as he’s not hurting himself!! 💗
It’s self soothing, it can be a sign of teething, and a baby’s mouth is how they explore. He’s just discovering his hands🤗
My handsome little boy called Jenson dean Lee sucks his thum
My 7 week old has just started doing this. I was worried she was teething super early but the health visitor said it’s just part of development. She really goes to town on it which is pretty amusing to watch x
My little guy has been sucking his fingers and hands for a few months now, since we weaned him off his binky. Now I'm trying to stop him from doing it because his two fingers look so sore sometimes :/
Don't worry! My little guy did that all the time and after a while they learn not to gag. I would say he is probably teething. You can get these great little teething gloves which are great for small babies who aren't yet able to hold the usual teethers in their mouths by themselves!
My girl was gagging on her fists for a while. Not anymore. I think she learned how far in she could have them. Having other things available night help. Skwish rattles are good, my LO would jam it in her mouth, but the cords kept it from going too deep
My 4 month old eats her hands. I’m always cleaning her hands and feet! 😩
My 12 week old does this and he refuses a dummy so I just let him do it, I don’t know why he does it but he does like to stare at his hands too? So maybe he just likes his hands! It’s hard to tell if they are early teething or not, especially when you’re a first time mum 😩
My little one will be 7months old next week and he’s been doing this since about 3-4months of age. I believe it’s self soothing and they sometimes just get carried away and gag themselves. A great behavioral technique would be to just remove his hands anytime he is going to far!
My son LOVED to munch his hand. His first teeth came in at 4 months. He used a pacifier too for the first few months but eventually started sucking his thumb.
My baby girl is four months old and she does the same thing. Sometimes I put socks on her hands while she’s eating and it totally helps!!! 💕
My girls does it too. My doctor calls it nature’s pacifier! Lol
He could be teething, my daughter does the same thing. She’s 2 months but she’s too little for teething toys so she prefers her hands
My guy loves his hands, he's so strong he will not let you move them if he's having a great hand eating session. Oh and he'll eat your hand too if he's in the mood. He's teething.

My twins LOVE their hands. They love staring at them, eating them, clasping them, using one to shove the other in their mouths
Likely teething. I used a Sophie the giraffe with both mine. With him being so young, maybe try the glove teether? Then it’s on his hand and he doesn’t have to hold it. No idea where you get them from xx good luck, he’s gorgeous
Lol my 10week old boy is doing the same, maybe early teething?!
My little boy does this all the time - if hes not eating his hands he's trying to chew what's in them! He has toys and stuff but I just leave him to it, he's happy enough 😊
He may be teething! My little one does this, he’s 5 months but has been doing it for awhile 😂 I bought him some teething toys that he loves! I can recommend a few:)
