I tried giving him appropriate things to lick (suckers, ect). That helped for a while, but didn't stop it. Eventually he just stopped on his own, but unfortunately now he bites himself..

Good luck, hopefully someone else will have better advice.. {{}} Married to Dan Mom to: Dana (3/4/98) 36 week preemie, now a spirited 3 y/o ~~~~~and~~~~~~ (3/26/99) 33 week preemie, now a 2 y.o. growing boy! mild-moderate autism/hearing impaired ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <A HREF= " http://www.butcherfamily.freeservers.com " >http://www.butcherfamily.freeser\ vers.com</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 I've heard that usually when children lick their skin it is because they're are licking the salt off their skin. MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
