Babies constantly have their fists in their mouths. As they get a bit bigger every toy and bit of blanket also ends up in their mouths. Then, when they are mobile, there's a whole range of household objects to put in there! - This process is known as Mouthing.
God watches over them. But is it healthy for them? Should parents be more cautious? Are they at any risks?
Likely dangers babies are exposed to are:
• Germs.
• Poisoning from ingesting something toxic.
• Internal injury caused by swallowing small items (especially magnets).
The BIGGEST danger they are likely exposed to is choking. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, airway obstruction is a major cause of death for kids under the age of four and the number one cause for kids younger than one.
