Finger-gagging?

someone else posted about this very thing not too long ago. i really think that it is not anything to worry about. my oldest daughter had such long, thin fingers that she would sometimes gag herself when she sucked on them, but i can’t remember if she ever actually made herself spit up. she spit up massive amounts, normally—but she was roly-poly and very happy—obviously she did not have an ACID reflux problem.

I think I was the one who posted about this before. Bryce does this EVERY time he’s teething. It’s so frustrating. He’s horrible with it. He gags himself constantly when he’s teething. Unfortunately I haven’t found any way to stop it, besides just keeping him distracted as much as possible. The only good thing about is I always know when he’s teething!

I was convinced that Owen was getting teeth as he did this from the time he could find his hands and he was constantly gagging himself. The doc at children’s hospital when we were there trying to sort out the mess said it was common with reflux babies, but I was sure it was his teeth even though Griffin never got a tooth until he was almost 11 mo old.

He never got a tooth until he was almost 9 mo old and he did it and still does it constantly. He usually has all 4 fingers in his mouth at once and consequently gags himself frequently!
