My son put things in his mouth that he should not such as legos, pieces of toys,

even leaves and grass....... I do not think it is pica and I try to redirect

him to suck on his chewy toys but he does not. What now?

He might just like the feeling of the " new " stuff in his mouth because those

neuro-pathways are healing.  Try giving him lots of new kinds of foods with

different textures and see if that helps his mouthing.
