A. How are other milestones? Try giving tummy time often. Keep colourful objects , so that he can have a look

A. Teething Would be one reason that is behind sucking of the hands and also that can be commonly seen and it’s okay if the child is not trying to live the head you just need to encourage your child maybe that is going to be helpful for the child
