In the toddlers thumb sucking habit is also seevhn many a times which could be phycological cause and feeling of insecurity or some stress . Just try to make the child comfortable and divert in some activities also scpend good time with the child .
In extreme case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .
