Around 6 months until about 12 months, your little ones take in more information through their mouths 😋 than with their fingers, or any other parts of their bodies. Mouthing is one of the earliest forms of problem-solving and exploration. Studies show that mouthing objects helps with speech development and prepares babies for different food textures. 👍 Babies are also using their mouths to learn even when things aren’t in their mouths! They begin to experiment the different ways they can move their mouth, jaw, and tongue. These movements help build their muscles to allow them to eat solid food and lay the foundation for those adorable babbles, and eventually talking! 🗣️ Mouthing and experiences in the mouth also help your baby’s gag reflex move from the front of the tongue to the back of their tongue. 👅 The gag reflex stays with your baby throughout their life!
