Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Babies explore everything with their mouth. The first thing they will start to recognise is their fingers and then hands. After being amazed to see them they want to know what or how it is so they put them in their mouth. As they grow older, they start to put everything they see in their mouth because of this simple reason, to explore. So u need not worry about this. Just keep the baby's fingers clean and trim the nails. Make sure there isn't any objects which can cause choking hazard around the baby. Keep her surroundings hygienic and clean. Try to remove her fingers from the mouth whenever possible and divert her attention by showing new toys, singing to her or playing with her. U can use mittens, but she will start to put them in her mouth too. Also if the gums are swollen then some babies could teeth early. You can massage his gums gently with ur clean fingers once in a while

Hi Your child is going to have his teeth very soon which is why there is a swelling in the gums which is why your child is taking the finger into the mouth so that your child can play something hard against the gums to settle down the irritation start giving teether to the child clean the gums over and over with a soft cloth and if needed consult a child dentist once
