POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If your 2-year-old always puts her hands in her mouth, it could be due to teething, boredom, anxiety, or habit. Since home remedies haven’t worked, try these practical solutions:
1. Keep Hands Engaged:
Give her safe toys, teething rings, or finger foods to keep her hands busy. Sensory toys like soft balls or playdough help distract her.
2. Teach Alternative Actions:
Gently remind her, "Hands out of mouth" and encourage clapping, high-fives, or holding a toy instead.
3. Apply Safe, Bitter-Tasting Solution:
If safe, try neem juice or lemon juice (lightly applied) on her hands to discourage the habit.
4. Maintain Hygiene:
Since stopping completely takes time, wash hands frequently to prevent infections.
5. Address Anxiety or Teething:
If it’s due to stress or teething, offer comfort, a pacifier (if needed), or a cool teething toy.
If the habit continues excessively, consult a pediatrician to rule out underlying causes like nutritional deficiencies or anxiety. Let me know if you need more help!
