ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years agoA. dear Mum It is normal developmental behaviour of baby known as mouthing, Baby's way of exploring things. There is nothing much that you can or should do. Most babies outgrow it. Maintain good hygiene
You may try to distract by giving toys
avoid pacifier it can introduce infection to baby , reduce milk supply , interfere with breast feeding
