Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl4 years agoA. hi
mam,thumb sucking is natural mechanism for self soothing.
so it is normal.
but ,you should check your child pee count ,if it is around 7 or 8 times in a day ,you should not take stress for his/her feeding pattern.
because a good urine output indicates that your child is getting enough milk.
you can try different feeding positions to distract your child from this .
maintain skin to skin Contact while feeding your child it will also help to encourage your child to take more feeds.
