I believe it's because they are trying to use all of their senses to learn about objects, touch doesn't register just yet (it does but it's like a sensation overload)
Yeah they learn the whole world through their mouths, like a little shark . It’s so stressful because you could look away for a second and next thing you know they have a mouthful of something dangerous and they don’t understand that it’s not safe. Also I think kids just assume much of the world is edible. Moon made of cheese, Anything brown is chocolate flavor, etc. it’s probably disappointing finding out that most things aren’t.
my brother put a light bulb in his mouth and bit down
afterwards we sat hours there getting the splinters out. Thankfully it was some special kinda glass and he didn't get cut
I remember the coin I left on my bed, walked away to get something then when I came back I saw my niece on my bed with her hand in her mouth, with the coin in it gosh, the panic I felt that day
REAL. The way their eyes focuses on the most random ass things to put into their mouths. Pencils, calculator, paper, erasers. EVERYTHING adorably Curious little goblins.
When I was young I thought all coins were edible because of chocolate coins and I swallowed a quarter.....I didn't tell my parents......I have no clue if it's still in me at 25
nah
you just shit it out after a while
I don't remember doing that, kept an eye out for it for a while months
bro
"everything goes into his mouth!" yep, as someone who took care of my sister when she was young this is sooooo real lmao! and being upset for stopping them from doing something stupid like eating dirt
