    I've got one that it hasn't stopped yet. And mine are over 2 1/2.

    Just base it on what yours do. Keep trying and then you'll know when it works.

    This is driving me bonkers too. Many people have told me it got dramatically better for them at around 14-15 months. They still do it, but not so obsessively. Let's hope they are right!

    I also still have one that doesn't seem to stop this habit.....I read somewhere that they will stop on their own eventually......When? I am desperately waiting for this moment.

    Mine are 20 months and still do it. One is way worse than the other though.

    I'm beginning to think it never stops.

    All three of mine put toys in their mouths for what seemed forever. Now they've all moved on to chewing their fingernails. Hayden and Brady always seem to have a finger in their mouth, or anything they find, really (Legos, paperclips, etc.) At the store yesterday, I caught Hayden chewing on a small piece of plastic that came off some packaging! Argh!

    My girls just turned four and Kaitlyn still puts everything in her mouth. When she was an infant she was also more dependant on her pacifier. We took that away and then she started putting everything else in her mouth. We're still trying to break her of the habit.
