Yummy Hands

Kareem has recently discovered his hands. He spends much time playing with them, crossing his fingers, unintentionally grasp anything that comes close to them, and the worst part is that he puts them in his mouth and start sucking them! No matter how I try to keep his hands away from his mouth, he puts them back!
He still doesn't know of course that they're part of his body and that he can hold things with them, but he finds them amusing, a new thing to discover and play with.

lakan kabran mashallah:) What I've heard is that it's good for a baby to suck on his hands and fingers, they say underneath his nails are enzymes that are good for digestion! My midwife also told me once that sucking on the fingers helps a baby improve his jaw and tongue movements! After I heard this I never tried to take my baby's fingers away from her mouth :$

Dawn said...

Does he put just one or two fingers or the whole hand? Firas used to try putting his whole fist in his mouth which seemed scary. He will most certainly grow out of it soon enough.
But they are yummy aren't they?
:D

He sucks his fist Dawn, doesn't put the whole hand inside his mouth he just makes a fist and sucks it :D
