He probably just found his hands. He is not hungry babies will mouth anything they can pretty soon he will find his feet and guess where he will put them...
Yep right into his little ol mouth, and if you leave a tiny scrap of paper on the floor when he is on it he will find and it too will go right into his mouth. Enjoy it while it lasts and take lots of pictures they grow up way too fast. Missing my grown children. Have lots of fun with him

Well you should get used to it! There's a number of reasons why your baby would do that. Your baby could be starting to teeth, or still a little hungry. As far as the drooling goes, it will only get worse! Especially when your baby is teething really bad! He will drool so bad his cheeks & chin will get all red. It's completely normal, and will probably last until he gets teeth. My son is 1 yr 4 months, still teething and drools a lot!! Good luck!

He could still be hungry. Try feeding him another ounce. Before I up my daughters amount of formula she will chew her hands and act like shes hungry so thats how I can usually tell when I have to give her more.

Sounds like he's teething early - get a soft squishy teething ring or a pacifier and see if that helps. To help with the drooling you could put small bibs on him throughout the day.

I somewhat have a three month previous additionally and for the final week he has incredibly began sucking on his palms and palms and has began to drool. i think of he may well be commencing as much as teethe, or he has basically got here across his palms and it heading into the area the place each and every thing is going into the mouth. i think of you're able to desire to enable your toddler suck on her palms.

I doubt he's teethign OR hungry-- babies just do this! They like to suckle, they like to feel their hands... like just like it. Don't stress, just use a baby wipe to wipe his chin and clean his hands every time you change him.
You can try replacing his hand with a pacifier if you use one, but otherwise-- no worries.
