A. Hi, I think baby is teething, Give good teether to chew. Rub baby's gums with clean cotton cloth dipped in cold water. Be little strict as 3 year old baby can understand things. Give some toys to engage to baby. This is the best method in my opinion. Slowly it will go away.

A. Hi, This is really dangerous dear. Please put such things in hide or in upper closet. Pat a little on hands of the baby that it is not touchable products. Baby will understand. Try giving musical toys or Babyhug wooden alphabet puzzle etc to distract
