AbhayaMom of a 16 yr 6 m old boy5 years agoA. Hi mom Babies they prefer to drink bottle milk as it is easy to suck and comfortable. Do not give bottle at all. Only breastfeeding is done till six months. Putting fingers in mouth is due to teething. Give ur baby teethers to chew on. Or cover ur baby hands with soft mittons.
