Around 3.5 to 4 months, child gets a milestone Mouthing.
It is a survival milestone, as child needs to learn eat food. But child doesn't understand what is food so child tries to take whatever comes in hand.
So they keep everything what comes in their hamd into the mouth. To understand its shape, texture, size etc.
It is a phase and totally normal.
