#asktheexpert Hi Doc. My baby is 5 months and 6 days old. He always keeps his hands in his mouth, My elders ask me to stop him or his teeth will come in front. I try to stop him from doing so but he cries a lot if I stop him.. What should I do to stop him from doing this?

A. hi no need to stop this is natural tendency of babies and its okay for growth. give your kid chilled silicon based teething rings to chew on. gently massage the gum pad
