Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. uThumb 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 tuiry to make the child comfortable and divert in some activities also spend tgood 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 .

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl3 years agoA. hi
mam ,if a child is sucking his thumb or finger by the age of 3 years ,it means that he or she is feeling stressed or anxious for something.
he or she is doing this to soothe himself
so , please make sure your child is well cared and feel secured and safe.
Never scold or yell at your child for this habit
try to teach your child other soothing ways like drawing or coloring activities
or give other comfort object like soft toy or blanket
stay calm consistent and positive.
