Mom of a 3 yr 8 m old girl3 years ago

Q.

#AskTheExpert My baby is plus 5 months old and has got this weird habit of taking my fingers and biting. If I try to take it off she gets cranky and irritated. She bites it really hard. I asked my doctor he didn’t really say anything and said it’s normal. What could be the reason of her doing so? She just puts it in between her gums and bite it really hard.
