Ask a QuestionMom of a 5 yr old girl4 years ago
Q.
#asktheexperts My baby girl is 11 months old and she puts everything in her mouth. She started it since she was 5 months I was thinking because of teething she is doing that but even after getting 5 teeth (4 incisors and 1 lateral incisor) still she puts everything in her mouth... Nowadays since she can bite the small pieces of paper goes inside her mouth. I am worried please help!

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. 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 extremevf case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .
