I don't think you can... at the stage my two are almost 1 year its still how they learn about things.
I just let them gum things most of the time to be honest but if its something they shouldn't have I say - thats not for ... mummy have it and you can have ...(I replace the object with the nearest toy to prevent tears) |

| Yeah...they will grow out of it. Just be as watchful as possible in the meantime. I like the toy replacement idea |

You cant really..you just have to keep telling them no when they do it and they grow out of it. My 18 month old daughter is the same and my son was the same. ------------- |

LOL .. good luck .. the only thing that would work is if you cut their hand off .. and then they would prob just lie on the ground and vacuum stuff up using their mouth. *sigh*
It comes in handy when they wont eat their dinner though, apparently its much tastier once they throw it on the floor  ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

Wish I knew the answer to this one! My DD eats everything - sticks, leaves, grass, dirt, sand, paper, bits of stuff on the floor, her clothes, playdoh, crayons, soap etc. She's not quite as bad as she used to be (growing out of it hopefully) but I still have to watch her closely in the bath (soap) and at the beach and park (sand and bark) 
ETA to add - not quite everything, she doesn't eat her dinner most nights! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| thank you all for your comments, my eldest never put anything in his mouth apart from food or his dummy so feel like im getting a double dose with my 18 mnth old haha, hopefully it starts easing off before number three arrives as im worried i might miss something major that goes in there |
