How to deal with a five-month-old baby who constantly eats their hands

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This is a normal part of a baby's development. As long as the baby's hands are washed frequently and kept clean, it is fine. Babies explore the world with their mouths, and eating their hands is just one way of exploring. Parents don't need to worry too much, as long as they pay attention to avoid putting foreign objects in the baby's mouth and ensure the baby's hygiene.
