Why Do Babies Put Everything in Their Mouths? - ARK Therapeutic

💕 They drop it. You pick it up. They drop it again. Annoying? Sometimes. Random? Not exactly. Babies learn by experimenting with the world around them. Dropping an object gives them another chance to watch what happens: I let go → it falls. Then they do what tiny researchers do best—they repeat the experiment. Drop. Watch. Learn. Repeat.

Katie Barger, MD on Instagram: "I’m eager to start feeding my daughter solids. It’s such a fun new stage! And while I am letting her interact with some foods with close supervision, she is not ready to really start eating yet. Signs of readiness for solids include: ✔️Good head control ✔️Picks up toys and brings them to mouth ✔️No longer has “tongue thrust” that pushes food out of mouth ✔️Interested in food - watches you eat, may grab for your food ❌Can sit with minimal support - this is where my daughter isn’t ready yet. See how she’s leaning forward in the high chair? When I put her in a seated position on the floor she doesn’t support herself, just flops over. She doesn’t have enough trunk control yet to safely eat. So we will work on that before we really dive in to foods! UPDAT
