New thing spitting out drinks on the floor

Love1emons

My 5 year old granddaughter has started filling her mouth with her drink and then spitting it everywhere. 

We have tried a few things like giving minimal amounts in the straw drinker. Unfortunately it may be the sensation she likes but it's difficult when you are at out or at someone's house.

Any ideas or is it just another phase,.

  • It might be worth double-checking your granddaughter isn't experiencing dental discomfort (but has not found the way to explain that new situation). 

    A small percentage of children may start to lose their baby teeth at around age 4 or 5 (instead of the more usual age 6 or 7).

    I speak from lived experience (it took me a while to convince my adults - when I was at that younger age); that something was odd with one of my baby teeth.

    Often, the tooth replacement process starts with the lower front incisors (which might even present a problem when using a straw to drink).

    Yes that's a point ,she will be at that age for her teeth becoming loose. I will make sure we are more aware of things changing in her mouth thank you
