A. Teething would be happening with your child and probably which is why your child is keeping fingers into the mouth most of the time every thing as a precise logic behind it at this age what people say it does not make a difference because they said their own convention and that is what they work over but this is not at all true it is that your child is probably having its teeth and that’s completely alright it can lead to a little bit of loss of appetite
