A. during teething kids tent to put everything in their mouth as in your case the child is putting her hands in the mouth make sure it is always clean because that is the cause of loose motions because of stomach infection visit a pediatrician in get proper treatment no please do not give any pacifiers to you child instead give silicon teethers to chew on.

A. Give teether This is enough to be given to the child other than that you cannot give pacifier to the child taking the thumb into the mouth is completely okay because kids around it so that they feel better you can give finger foods to the child if you want to I know it is not going to harm the teeth coming process or anything it’s a very normal thing with kids to have lose motions also when they’re having their teeth
