A. don't worry. hands and fingers are their first toys. they are just playing. breast milk is always sufficient till completion of six months. give Sunbath every morning. start vitamin d and multivitamins supplements

A. Hello dear parent! It is a very normal finding in small babies to lick their fingers. It is a way of exploring things and body parts. Maintain a good personal and oral hygiene for your child. Keep cleaning your baby’s mouth and hands frequently. Check if your baby is teething as well. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand.
