Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year 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 extreme case withdrawal can be tried with sovgtme solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. You can apply neem oil or juice on that area that is going to be help because this is very bad in taste is extremely bitter and kids don’t like it so that something that is going to work for you so you can apply by the child is sleeping so the child doesn’t know that you’re doing it
