Why must Rowan put everything in her mouth or up to her mouth? Her thumb, her hair, whatever random object she finds. She saw something on a blanket and asked her Oma about it. Oma told her it was gum. Next thing you know the spot on the blanket that had gum embedded into it was up and her mouth. She’s almost five. Why are we still dealing with us? We talk about the only things that go into her mouth should be food and drinks. Gloves don’t seem to work, offering rewards or treats if she doesn’t suck doesn’t seem to work.
This oral fixation is one of my pet peeves. Solutions?
Have you tried spicy nail polish? You can find it at Wal-mart. I found it near the nail files, hanging, in a package, but sometimes it somewhere around first-aid/bandaids.
ReplyDeleteShe likes spicy things. We have tried everything known to man and if it's something she doesn't like like lemon she waits until it dries, then sucks.
