A. finger, thumb, hand,things insertion in the oral cavity is very normal at this stage and usually it is due to teething pain the child is experiencing along with inflammation and pain in the gums. just maintain hygiene of the child finger as well as any type of things which goes inside the oral cavity and also try to maintaing the hygiene of your finger when you are touching the hands of the child. to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child fand if the child is very irritable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also. it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.

A. In this case, sucking on their hand may be a sign of self-soothing. Young babies often fall asleep on the breast or bottle, so they may come to associate the sucking reflex with the initial stages of sleep and suck on their hand to help them relax and wind down.
