A. Thumb sucking in infants is a very normal phenomenon and its called mouthing reflex and nothing to be worried about it just maintain proper hygiene and with time this thing will go . In the toddlers thumb sucking habit is also seen many a times which could be phycological cause and feeling of insecurity or some stress . Just try to make the child comfortable and divert in some activities also spend good time with the child . In extreme case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available wghich are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applijed locally .

A. Maybe your child is having its teeth which is why your child is sucking the thumb so you can apply Neem oil or juice on that you can also start with homeopathic tablet number 21 and also you can introduce her Teether to your child it helps a lot because the child can suck on that instead of the thumb
