Re: putting everything in the mouth

Try zinc supplement. Sometimes people say it could be a mineral deficiency.

 

I wonder why my daughter keeps putting everything in her mouth. She is already four. I read someone saying that has to do with fungus infection.

I agree with the zinc. My son is also a mouther and is 4 yrs old. When we

increased zinc it got much better but didn't completely eliminate it. He used to

come from school with his jacket zipper chewed to pieces. Now we get some

chewing on sleeves every once in a while.

Im actually glad you brought this up... I hadn't been supp'ing zinc for about a week or two... and my son has started mouthing things again... I didn't initially think anything but now I realize... and his zinc levels are actually in range... so not really sure what is going on there... but going to take my own advice LOL and started the zinc back up again...

My daughter who is 27 months old also is always chewing on something,she has

been on Zinc and alot of other supplements for 4 months and she is mouthing less

but still does it enough to drive me crazy. I asked my da and she said either

yeast or heavy metals could be causing her to do it, when I asked about Zinc she

told me that she never heard Zinc would cause this so who knows. I do tell her

yucky and pull it away from her mouth. when I see her doing it.

Good Luck,

I have quite a bit of experience with this. There have been several

different issues behind the mouthing for my daughter. At one time, her

zinc levels were low. I gave her zinc monomethionine and it worked.

When I started MB 12 shots it got really bad, even the pill form of

B12 caused it. It is only supposed to be temporary when the mb 12 is

the culprit, but it got so bad that i had to stop the shots. I had to

buy her all new shirts. Low iron, almost like a pica issue, can also be

a culprit. Iron levels need to be tested, a supplement shouldn't be

given without knowing whether the levels are low. And of course, yeast

and metals are the culprits in so many situations, makes it very

frustrating. When my daughters yeasty symptoms come back i.e. toe

walking, butt rash, dark circles and spinning, the mouthing sometimes

coincides. Process of elimination folks!!!!! It's our full time job!!!

Just my 2 cents.

For zinc supplementing shoot for body weight plus 20 in mgs. So if your child

weighs 50 lbs, give 70 mg of zinc. The toys will quickly disappear from the

mouth of your babe, lol. Also if anyones child is having trouble with

transitions and aggression try the elemental lithium drops, start w/ one drop

and work up, good stuff.
