The baby will bring many surprises to the mother in the process of growing up, but it will also make the mother very helpless. Take the baby eating his hands as an example. Bao Ma thinks that it is unsanitary for babies to always put their hands in their mouths. In fact, this is a manifestation of their intellectual development. But some babies never eat their hands, so what does it mean that babies don't eat their hands? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao.

What does it mean that the baby doesn't eat his hands?

It is a normal phenomenon for infants to suck their fingers in infancy, which is a signal of their intellectual development, a sign that infants enter the stage of hand-eye coordination preparation and finger function differentiation, and also plays an important role in their psychological development. Usually eat hands after two months. But if the baby doesn't eat his hands, it may be that the baby is developing slowly, so parents can continue to observe. After all, the baby's individual is different, and his personality performance is not exactly the same.

The reason why the baby eats his hands

It is normal for babies to eat their hands when they are very young, but it is a retrogressive behavior for children to suck their fingers when they are 3 ~ 4 years old. When children are anxious and nervous, they will fall back to infancy and suck to satisfy their appetite to reduce their inner worries. There are many potential reasons behind this: the child's physical problem is that the child lacks trace elements, such as zinc and iron; Children's psychological problems are children's mental health, manifested as depression and anxiety; Children will eat their fingers when they are bored; The child's curiosity developed a hobby of eating hands.

The baby's development is also staged and different, so the baby's specific performance will be different. For the problem that babies don't eat their hands, mothers should not care too much. If the mothers are really worried, they can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to avoid mental problems.
