    He licks them? Lol I bet that's cute. But I have no idea why. Some babies do teeth early so it's possible I'd say.

    Lol my son stuck everything and anything in his mouth when he was a baby. I think that's how they explore hahaha

    Has yours given himself a hickey yet? Brody has on his arm. If I'm not quick enough to feed him he sucks on his left arm lol.

    I wrap my daughter and she often wriggles her arms to the top and sucks her hands through the wrap. Babies have alot of nerve endings in.their mouth, thats why they stick everything in there for the first year or so

    It's a soothing thing and a way to explore their world.
