As babies grow to a certain age, their brain's ability to control their opponents also increases to a certain extent, but the phenomenon of babies eating their hands is also obvious. For hands carrying numerous bacteria, parents are very resistant to their babies eating them. Therefore, parents have also developed many strange ideas, such as wanting to apply bitter things to their babies' hands. So, the question is, what bitter food should a baby apply to their hands when eating?
However, there is a folk belief that it is possible to apply some bitter melon juice or pig bile to babies' hands. Although this belief can effectively prevent babies from eating their hands, it can also create a fear of external objects. So it is generally not recommended for parents to use this method, because eating hands is an essential experience for babies during their growth process, and this phenomenon will disappear when the baby reaches a certain age.
In fact, as long as parents wash their hands frequently for babies who have this hand eating phenomenon, mothers should also increase their nutrient intake. This will increase the baby's nutrition and reduce the phenomenon of hand eating. And sometimes babies eat their hands, perhaps because they are hungry. Mothers need to judge based on their usual experience whether it is time to breastfeed their babies. During leisure time, parents can also take their babies out for a walk, meet more people, distract their attention, and slow down the degree to which they eat their hands.
