Yep as others have said it's their way of exploring, they get the taste, and texture of things that way, it's also just well, cos they can, they have learnt that they can purposefully bring their hands inwards to the center to reach their mouth - one of the first things they learn to do.. and what a great reward.. they get something to suck on if they learn to hold their hands there long enough. ]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 21:02:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241834&title=chewing-on-hands#241834 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241807&title=chewing-on-hands#241807 Author: my4beauties

Jett's exactly like that at the moment. I think it's the comfort of sucking. As soon as my boob leaves his mouth, his hands go in. I'm thinking of introducing a dummy as he will go to sleep while feeding, but as soon as I put him down he'll wake with his hands in his mouth.]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:45:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241807&title=chewing-on-hands#241807 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241732&title=chewing-on-hands#241732 Author: aimeejoy

I used to get sooooo sick of people telling me Han had her hands in her mouth like that cos she was either hungry or teething. Nobody seemed to understand it was just cos she could and the start of the everything in the mouth phase! ]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:21:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241732&title=chewing-on-hands#241732 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241713&title=chewing-on-hands#241713 Author: MelanieAndBree

At her age her tongue has more sensation in it than her fingertips so it's probably the start of an exploring phase (which lasts for ages) ]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 16:46:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241653&title=chewing-on-hands#241653 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241634&title=chewing-on-hands#241634 Author: BaAsKa

Daniel does it constantly. He's teething on and off but its also just their way of exploring.]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:21:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241614&title=chewing-on-hands#241614 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241599&title=chewing-on-hands#241599 Author: cuppatea

Yeah Spencer has pretty much constantly got his hands in his mouth he even tries to put them in there when feeding. He also shoves his bib, blanket, toy or anything else he can get hold off in there too. He actually makes himself gag sometimes the silly boy]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:09:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241599&title=chewing-on-hands#241599 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241587&title=chewing-on-hands#241587 Author: Rackhell

Cath does this as well, it's a soothing thing for her. When she can't get a blanket in her mouth, the hands go in there.]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:57:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241587&title=chewing-on-hands#241587 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241575&title=chewing-on-hands#241575 Author: Kicker

Madison has always sucked on her hands, i think it is a self soothing thing as she seems to do it more when she is tired.

Yup, Bella LOVES her hands, quite often she'll try and stick both of them in at the same time, but I'm sick of people saying to me "oh is she hungry" right after I've fed her...NOOOOOOOOO she is just a very 'sucky' baby, loves her dummy, loves her fingers/hands/thumbs, whatever she can jam in there!! ]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:30:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241574&title=chewing-on-hands#241574 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241567&title=chewing-on-hands#241567 Author: Mama2two

Yup Sam does this alot too. I think you will find that Briahna is probably coming into the age where everything of interest goes in the mouth - even bits of herself ]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:24:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241567&title=chewing-on-hands#241567 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12035&PID=241558&title=chewing-on-hands#241558 Author: FionaS

Briahna has been doing this alot even after a feed when shes not hungry.

I was just wondering if anyone knows why she would be doing it?

[edit] i know its [robably nothing, but im just curious really!
