A. I don't think ur baby feels hungry, that's her habit of sucking thumb. Thumb sucking is mostly harmless... and will correct by age. Always start by talking to your child about why thumb sucking is a bad habit.
Apply neem oil, karela juice on thumb..

A. It Could be just a casual habit of your child it is not always associated with hunger of the child so the child and if your child is constantly behaving like this and you can put something bitter onto the thump of your child before you put your child to sleep or something
