A. Hi mom. Apply neem juice or garlic juice on the fingers when baby is sleeping. The bitter taste of this will discourage ur baby to suck fingers. Also give natural appetiser like coconut water, jeera water, curd with mint, ajwain water etc to increase the appetite of ur baby. Give food in colourful and attractive plates that attracts baby toward food like babyhug plates. Give finger food as self feeding encourages eating.
