Hello,
My son is 15months old and he has a habit of sucking his thumb. I tried everything to stop him from doing it. But nothing worked on him. I have come across a product called docura no bite and reviews says it is very effective. But Iam bit scared about any chemicals and if its safe for babies. Can anyone suggest me on this product.

Hello mam, thumb sucking is common habit of babies and toddlers. It will go away when the started school or by the age of 4.
It is more common not only in your child.
Thumb sucking habit in babies is to soothe themselves.It is not only the reason, it may be due to teething, 
provide a good teether. so your baby can soothe their new gums.
Don't scold or force your baby to stop immediately. 
Divert them gently with other toys and play with them.
Gradually they will forget this habit soon. 
Happy mother's day and happy parenting!
