When did your baby find their hands and feet?

Do they just put their hands in their mouth more ect? He rubs his face a lot and holds his hands together when feeding, I don’t know if that means he’s found his hands?😂

My LO stares at his hands lots, like in wonder, that’s what I’ve noticed!

@Nicole how old is he?

My son found his hands maybe 3 months or so, feet he found about 5 months and now they’re permanently stuck in his mouth at 7 months 😂

My LO is 10 weeks, his hands are pretty much always in his mouth, has been doing this for the last 2 weeks x

My little boy is coming up to 4 months. He found his hands at 3 months and they’ve been in his mouth ever since. I’ve just bought some nuby teething things cause he soaks his mits 😂

2 months old my daughter found her hands. Yet to fully find her feet.

Does it just mean they put their hands in their mouth then?

yeah, sounds like he's discovering his hands for sure, it’s super cute when they start doing that! 😂 Just looked it up on the 'Heal Baby Care App' and here’s what it says: "It sounds like your little one is exploring their body, which is a normal part of development! Babies often put their hands in their mouths as a way to learn about their environment and soothe themselves. Rubbing their face and holding their hands together during feeding can indicate comfort and self-soothing behavior. At what age is your baby, and have you noticed any other signs of development, like reaching for toys?
