Father of a 6 yr 6 m old girl3 years ago
Q.

#AskTheExpert hello mam, my daughter is 2years and 3 months old and she sucks 2 middle fingers of left hand everytime when she gets free. We have used femite as well but she is not leaving the habbit. It reduces the habbit a bit but she keeps sucking slowly slowly and starts in full when femite impact reduces. please advise how we can get her leave this bad habbit.

A. you have to keep removing the fingers everytime she keeps it in mouth and you have to keep telling her again and again and also keep applying femite lotion until she doesn't remember. the habit stems from insecurity and could also be because of emotional distancing so try to interact more with the baby

A. hi first ,stop being harsh with your child. no need of femite or this kind of things. Kids do this when they feel stressed or anxious or they have nutritional deficiencies. so , please make sure your child is well cared. offer homemade healthy and well blanaced diet. whenever your child does this ,try to distract your child by giving toys or activities. but please don't force your child. do it gradually. stay calm consistent and positive,it is more important.
