Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. Thumb sucking in infants is a very normal phenomenon and its called mouthing reflex and nothing to be worried about it just maintain proper hygiene and with time this thing will go .
In the toddlers thumb sucking habit is also seen many a times which could be phycological cause and feeling of insecurity or some stress . Just try to make the child codmfortable and divert in some activities also spend good time with the child .
In extreme fgycase withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .

Check what is triggering such behaviour and try as much to avoid the triggers. Serve your child healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage eating healthy.
