By 6 months, babies take in more information through their mouth than any other sense. Your baby’s mouthing is not only a healthy form of discovery, it’s also a sign of advancing physical and cognitive development.

Detailed explanation-2: -As soon as they are born, infants start to learn about the world from their experiences. Infants can see and hear what is happening around them and can communicate their needs and interests to others. Parents can help their babies learn by playing with them. Parents can help give infants a strong start to life.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mouthing helps babies explore their world from a sensory and oral motor standpoint. They are learning about textures, tastes, and temperatures that will provide them with a solid foundation to move on from purees to solid foods (get it?) and avoid a picky eating rut.

The mind and the senses work together to create a meaningful world. Sensory development in early childhood is important for overall health and well being.
