When do they stop putting things in thier mouths?
After a very scary morning of LO literally not breathing as he was choking on.....fluff!!! I was wondering if you ladies could shed some light on when they stop putting EVERYTHING in thier mouths.....
I have removed live beetles, stones, dog biscuits, a ??10 note etc etc
He is 10 months......
Just wondering how long before your LO stopped?
Thanks

My friends lo is 13months and is still putting things in her mouth
But now, he is aware that it's maybe somthing he shouldn't and if I catch him he happliy passes it onto me. As if he's being such a good boy in offering me back my Mac lipgloss !

DS stopped about 16 months when he started walking? Something like that.
However children still put things in their mouth occasionally until they are 3 years old that's why small things or toys w small parts have 'not suitable for under 36 months' on...But that's just a guide really.
DS is 26 months and he's had age 3+ toys (like little postman pat figures) for a while and never been a problem. He's been playing with money since he was nearly 2 and doesnt put it in his mouth.
He did occasionally do it until age 2 but it was only to make me laugh LOL!
I think he was about 21 months or so when he stopped, or maybe a month or so younger. It was only then that I was happy for him to play with things like felt tip pens, playdough and that kind of thing.
Though he still does put playdough in his mouth occasionally and pretends that it is a lollipop! When I tell him not to, he tells me that he is only pretending to put it in his mouth which is a complete fib as his tongue is the same colour as the playdough!
