A. best is to distract the baby and give something to play or something else to do so that the baby leaves it. never makes the baby couscous or even scold for it.

A. Don't force them or scold them to remove finger, else they will cling to that habit. Simply divert her. Play with her fingers or give any toy to hold them. Slowly baby will reduce the frequency of putting finger in mouth.
