A. Don't worry it is just a habit and not related to teething. Try to give him favorite toy to hug and sleep and keep your hand on him as sometimes the child feel insecure so he keep something with himself to stay protected.

A. Yes Putting everything into mouth is one of the sign of teething Teeth can errupt at any time from birth But most of the baby have their 1st teeth between 5-15 of age And continue till 6-7 yrs of age. Teeth eruptions is a natural process No need to do anything for that Don't give any medication for that unless fever and exessive crying. Just do gum massage with ur little finger thrice a day Give teether if possible, Clean teether every time before use. It will help

A. Few kids have this habit, so it's better to give him some toy in his hand to hug and sleep. When in deep sleep jyst remove the blanket from his mouth. Maintain good hygiene and keep surroundings clean
