A. use femite lotion (morning and night) till it subsides. Apply it to thumb front and back. For the first time he may definitely vomit whatever he ate(my baby also vomited), but don't panic. He probably don't do that afterwards. Will definitely work. You can also cross check in the Youtube. Worked really well for my baby. He is no longer sucking his thumb now. I'm Doctor by Profession (Mother of 2kids) All the best. 👍

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 comfortablevh and divert in some activities also spend good time with tghe child . In extreme case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .
