Y.P.
The actual age varies for every child, M.. My kids are 19 and 20 now, but I have 15 nieces and nephews from 16 years through 2 years so I've had LOTS of experience. The longest "chewer" was still chewing at 4-1/2 so hang in there. As a first-timer you may not know it but children learn about the world through their mouths. Everything goes into their mouths first. It's their way of deciding whether they are going to like it or not. They don't usually put things they're not supposed to in their mouths, although my son did catch a butterfly once...:-) Just be patient. I will say don't try to start snatching things from him because that will make him want them more.
