A. Hello, Babies are often distracted during meal time and may do these things if left unattended. Try and engage in a conversation with your child, talk about the food your are eating or play a game of your choice to calm your child down.

A. Hello mom This is quite normal in babies. Babies take all such things in mouth and this is very common. So you have to be very careful till baby start understanding. Rather than this now you baby is more than one year old so you can add anything in babies regular diet plan so try to give daily routine food to your baby.
