Baby making himself sick Posted: 02-05-08 18:52pm
I have a 10 month old son and he is
constantly cramming his entire hand down
his throat and making himself sick. Is
there anyway I can get him to stop? Its
something he has just started to do and im
worried that if he keeps it up he might
actually hurt himself.

my son does that, i think its just a stage
he normally laughs when u take his hand
out of his mouth like its funny.. hes not
doing it much any more thank god! hes 15
months old in a couple days and hes been
doing it for a LONG time
My son is almost 1 month and he does the
same thing, I have to distract him from
doing it, takes time... but I get him into
something else eventually and when I do so
he dosnt get sick and puke from doing it
anymore. Goodluck!

My son is also 10 months and started doing
this. I think he did it once and realized
it was a great way to get our attention,
because it sounds like he's choking and of
course we respond. For about 2 weeks we
have not been reacting when he does it and
he seems to not do it as much.
