A. Thumb sucking/putting fingers into mouth may be normal at this age  It may also be due to infection, teething, insecure feeling,  If possible give teether  Distract ur Baby whenever he or she will do this.  It will help.  Keep ur baby well hydrated  Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day  and No problem if baby is passing adequate urine. If baby is active and playful,  no fever,  passing adequate urine ie.  minimum 6-8 times per day, then no need to worry for motion ( once in 7 days or  15 times per day-  both conditions are totally normal.
