My baby is 8 months KA"H and for some reason I don't know why he doesn't have that typical baby reflex of sticking everything in his mouth. He grabs things and waves them around and passes them from hand to hand, but he doesn't bite them. He doesn't even like to bite teethers even though a bunch of teeth are coming in. Is there something wrong like he's missing a major important stage in babyhood or did any of your kids do that too?

Well I doubt there is something to be concerned about. you see my 18mnths old twins r still putting almost everything in their mouth besides food Rolling Eyes oh it's a bit of an exageration but ya know what I mean. Twisted Evil ALl my other kids had stoped at a yr but since everything else is above and up to par the ped is not worried.Could be with him it will still happen Confused

hi its me again.
Happyone: No his other development I think is fine. he crawls ok even though he likes to slither better if u know what I mean. He babbles and stuff, and he's a very happy baby KA"H. But even though Im glad because my floors are not so clean I am not sure if I should be concerned.
Tefila: So u think its not really a big deal?

My daughter never did it either. I thought about it a couple of times, but never gave it more thought than that. She's going on 3 now, and is perfectly fine!!!
(Actually, now she started putting her fingers in her mouth when she's shy, and it's driving me crazy!!!)

My cousin's first baby never put things in her mouth. She got such a shock with her second when she started to mouth everything . Most babies do mouth between 6-18 months but there are those that don't...
I doubt it is something to get too worried about

Ask your doctor if you're really that concerned. If he wasnt grabbing things, that would be diff. JMHO
