Hi, My baby is licking her hand a lot, she constantly does even while feeding, in fact she’s even drooling a lot. Please tell me what to do? Also, I have thought to introduce nibbler to make her stop licking her hand.

A. This is very common in babies and nothing to worry about. Actually there is nothing needed to do for the baby. You can just clean the baby's mouth whenever baby is drooling
