Chews on Everything

[moonemaiden]

My 11 month old son chews on everything. Everything! He chews through cardboard books, toys, clothes. He has chewed a hole through his playpen and a hole in the fabric that covers his vibrating chair. He has even chewed parts of video game controllers off. I provide him with toys that are safe to chew on as well as teething biscuits, baby carrots, and other chewable things. He has nearly 10 teeth already and is working on molars. His chewing is out of control, it's nearly as bad as this pet rat I had as a kid. Any ideas on how to redirect or stop this behavior?

If hes working on his molars, that's why he's chewing. So there's no stopping it until they cut through. Some kids just chew more than others.
