A. Hello dear parent! It is a normal finding in small babies to explore things and body parts by keeping everything in their mouth. Keep cleaning your baby’s mouth and hands frequently. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand. Check if your baby is teething, use Babyhug teether. Good luck and take care.
