Thumb sucking is a common habit amongst babies, and it's great that you're looking for ways to help your little one break the habit. It's important to note that there is no medication to stop thumb sucking. The best way to approach this is to encourage other soothing behaviors, such as a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. Praise your baby when they engage in these behaviors instead of thumb sucking. You can also try offering a substitute, such as a pacifier, to satisfy the urge to suck. Remember to be patient and consistent in your approach, as breaking a habit takes time and effort. I hope this helps!
