A. it's just a phase. ideally nothing to worry at all. all babies suck their hands and thumb. but just make sure thumb sucking doesn't become a habit. gently take it out every time she takes it. on done days baby may not drink as well as other days especially if they haven't passed motion. so regularize all that and it will be fine. eat lots of fibre and breastfeed well.
