Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 6 m old boy3 years agoA. finger, thumb, hand,things insertion in the oral cavity is very normal at this stage and usually it is due to teething pain the child is experiencing along with inflammation and pain in the gums. just maintain hygiene of the child finger as well as any type of things which goes inside the oralc cavity and also try to maintain the hygiene of your finger when you are touching the hands of the child. to decrease thec teething pain you can press the gums of the child and if the child is very irritable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also. it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy3 years agoA. According to studies, newborns may suck on their hands as an early cue to signal they are hungry. Other hunger cues at this age could include smacking or licking their lips and rooting. As your baby gets hungrier, hunger cues may progress to flailing their limbs, fussing, and crying. But it's not all about food.
