POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Don't stop them from mouthing everything. Instead gently discourage them from putting things into their mouth that they shouldn't. For example, you can say “Dirt isn't food” or “Dog food and doggy chew toys are for Rover only!” or “That's yucky — we don't put it in our mouth.” Vacuum regularly.
