ExpertDr.Rasika ThosarPaediatric Intensivist4 years agoA. hi j
thumb sucking is naturs way of soothing, comforting, it normally occurs at 3 to 4 mths of age.
try involving your baby in other activity to decrease thumb sucking.
normally child outgroWS this habit by 3 yrs of age.
if it continues beyond that, if it interfers with speech, eating, or other finger activities , consult your paediatrician.

Normally this habit is outgrown by the kids when they grow up.
Distract ur baby from putting thumb in the mouth. It will be fine. No need to worry about this. Take care
