I am the same way without mouthing things ... I GET that infants NEED to mouth stuff so I have teething toys and will redirect them to that 'bin' to choose something because regardless of your age you do not mouth anything else in my program - you get redirected back to 'teething toys' which are designed and intended for that purpose - if a child is particularly 'oral' I will place a teething toy right on their shirt with a short ribbon.

IMO while I empathize that infants are 'oral' and learn about their world through their sense it is never to young to teach children to respect their environment - there are things you can 'put in your mouth' and things you cannot and I do not want my materials full of 'teeth marks' or the paint chipped off of the wooden food and so forth
