Been chewing on things like crazy!!! Out of the blue for about two weeks now. Has his hands in his mouth, too, also constantly. Normal phase? (I'm guessing yes) but still wondering why and if there is ever a reason to worry or try figuring it out? Can I do anything to help him stop? It is driving me nuts because he soaks and stretches out the neck of his shirts and then needs new one because it feels cold on him and he gets whiney.
He has also had a loss of appetite in the past week. And he does this head shaking and yelling thing when I try to talk to him sometimes, looking like a child who ate way too much sugar, basically, or total ADHD boy. Its like a brain overload type of action, usually while playing...I don't know how else to explain it, really. but he used to do this similar thing when he was teething, or so I thought. He just finished getting his molars earlier this year, he was super slow and late with all of his teeth. Took forever. About 5 mos ago, after all his second molars were through, he went through another typical "teething" phase...so I thought...well maybe they were still pushing? But now, again, 5 mos even after that? I mean, those molars looked fully through back in the Spring, right before his 3rd birthday.
I am now confused what is going on with him...but the couple people I mentioned it to seem to think its normal. And a little boy I used to nanny for, when he was almost 5, he went through a chewing on clothes phase...and then it just stopped one day. So I don't want to make a big deal, but with the other things jumpin in my head, I am wondering what is going on.
