Babies aren’t ready for solid foods at 3 months, but they are ready to start practicing the skills they’ll need! Once you see them chomping on their hands more (around 10 weeks old), bring out the teethers and mouthing toys. At first you may need to hold it for your baby, but it won’t be long until they hold it themselves. The ideal mouthing toy has a chunky, easy-to-grasp handle, a long stick shape and soft silicone that’s gentle on gums and safe to chew. @yeahbabygood’s All You-Tensil was specifically designed for mouthing, AND it can be used for self-feeding when your baby is ready! So, how do mouthing toys get your baby ready for solids?? 💙 They get the cheeks, jaw, lips and tongue moving and stretching in a variety of directions. This “mouth exercise” strengthens the different parts of the mouth so baby will have an easier time manipulating food (and creating different sounds!).  💚 Bumps and ridges on the object help babies accept a variety of textures.  💛 Stick shaped mouthers shift baby’s gag reflex from the front of the tongue towards the back so there will be less gagging when they interact with food.
