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 ogf insecurity or some stress . Just try to make the child comfortable and divert in some activities also shpend good time with the child . In extreme case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .

A. Teething Can we happening which is why your child maybe keeping the thumb into the mouth all the time it’s a very common sign which is why maybe a child must have lost on the appetite as well so try to check the gums of your child for further understanding and clarity over the issue
