My 14 month keeps putting fingers down throat!!

Ok so my 14 month old gets a kick out of sticking her fingers in her mouth and then going too far and heaving! She's made herself sick twice in the last 2 weeks doing this. I can usually hear her heaving from wherever I am and I rush over and take her hand out her mouth and say no which she definitely understands because she responds by tensing up and growling at me as though I'm spoiling her fun!!

Anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone else's toddlers do dangerous things to themselves? Feel like it's not normal

Oh gosh yes all my kids have had a phase of doing this. It’s so weird and upsetting but totally normal!

WoW, thats not good. You need to watch that because your baby could choke. Maybe occupy your baby's time with a toy and get a nipple as well.
