POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. For a baby or toddler, you don’t need to stop the thumb-sucking yet. It’s perfectly OK for your baby or toddler to be sucking his or her thumb.
Once your child is around 4 to 5 years old or more, it might be time to start helping him or her stop so that it’s no longer a habit when those permanent teeth start to arrive.
