1 Answer

A. Yes, it's perfectly normal for babies to suck on their fists or fingers, especially during their early months. This self-soothing behavior is a natural reflex that can help them feel comforted and satisfied. It's often a sign of hunger, boredom, or the need for comfort. As long as your baby is gaining weight appropriately, sucking on their fist or fingers is generally nothing to worry about. It's a phase that many babies go through and typically decreases as they grow older and develop other ways to self-soothe.
