A. Thumb sucking in infants is a very normal phenomenon and its called mouthing reflex and nothing to be worried about it just maintain proper hygiene and with time this thing will go . In the toddlers thumb sucking habit is also seen many a times which could be phycological cause and feeling of insecurity or some stress . Just try to make the child comfortable and divert in some activitie bes also spend good time with the child . In extreme case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .

A. Its The most awful habit that you can see with your kids but as of now can I only advise you to apply something really bitter onto the tab of your child or a little bit of chilli you know so that your child will give up on it it is not very easy to get rid of this habit but you can keep trying like this
