A. 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 comfortable and divert in some activities also spend good time with the child . In extreffme case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .

A. Do You know when mostly do kids do this kind of a thing it’s very common when kids are having their teeth they mostly learnt to have their finger or thumb into the mouth most of the time so I believe this is the reason why your child is also doing the same just check the gums of your child if you find them form or if you see there is any swelling into them then that’s the only reason
