A. babies have natural rdooting and sucking reflexes, which can cause them to put their thumbs or fingers into their mouths .
because thumb sucking makes babies feel secure, some babies might eventdually develop a habit of thumb sucking when they're in need of soothing or going to sleep.
sometimes due to stress also this can occur.
it is many times increased during the teething process also.
you can wait till max till permanent tooth eruption starts
most experts agree that a thumb-sucker younger than 5 shouldn't be pressured to stop
stop by
1 positive reinforcement : praise when child does not do it. also offer bed time stories and outside entertainment when child does not do it.
2 identify trigger as what led to it. stress ??
3 gentle reminder. do not scold and severely criticize
last option- dentist treatment after 5years .

A. Neem oil you can apply if you want it is edible and also this is very bad in test so maybe hopefully your child is going to give up on that over the period you can try this thing or otherwise if you have any other thing which is going to absolutely taste bad you can use that as well
