A. It's very common for a 5-month-old baby to put their hands (or other objects) in their mouth frequently. This behavior is part of normal development and can be due to several reasons: 1. **Exploration**: At this age, babies explore their world primarily through their mouths. They use their mouth to learn about objects' texture, shape, and taste. 2. **Teething**: Your baby might be teething, and putting hands in their mouth can help soothe the discomfort of emerging teeth. 3. **Comfort**: Sucking on their hands can be a way for babies to self-soothe or feel comforted, especially when they are tired or anxious. 4. **Developmental Milestone**: As babies develop better hand-eye coordination, they gain more control over their hands and naturally want to put them in their mouth to practice their new skills. If your baby seems happy and is not showing signs of distress, there's usually no need to worry. Just make sure their hands are clean to avoid introducing germs into their mouth. If you notice excessive drooling, irritability, or signs of discomfort, it could be due to teething, and you might want to consider teething toys or consult your pediatrician for additional relief strategies.
