Q.
#asktheexperts Sir/ Maam My almost 5 months old daughter has started sucking on her thumb. I have been monitoring it closely she does it when she has to sleep or hungry and if removed she cries hysterically. I am worried that this might not become habit. Doc kindly guide whether to discourage thumb sucking or not? And whether pacifiers can be introduced?
