Hey ladies

Quick question - Freya has started sucking and chewing on her hands! At first I thought it may be because she's hungry but she's also doing it straight after feeds! And dribbling alot too!

Is this normal? As its my first LO I'm not sure what to expect?

Thanks as always xx

If she is chewing on her hands and dribbling alot she maybe teething. xx

Arthur did this around same age, hv said he's found his hands... I thought he was teething, but she didn't seem to think so...
