Q.

#asktheexpert My baby is badly addicted to thumb sucking. I've tried making him wear hand gloves, but even with them on, he immediately puts his finger in his mouth. He refuses to sleep when I put gloves on his hands, as he is addicted to sucking his thumb. Nowadays, he is very cranky whenever I try to put gloves on his hands.please suggest on this
