Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. there is no need to change the habit just try to divert the child because it is a self limiting habit
THUMB SUCKING : Babies have natural rooting and sucking reflexes, which can cause them to put their thumbs or fingers into their mouths .
Because thumb sucking makes babies feel secure, some babies might eventually develop a habit of thumb sucking when they're in need of soothing or going to sleep.
Sometimes due to stress also this can occur.
It is many times increased during the teething process also.
You can wait till max till permanent tooth eruption starts
Most experts agree that a thumb-sucker younger than 5 shouldn't be pressured to stop
Stop by
1 Positive reinforcement : praise when child does not do it. Also offer bed time Stories and outside entertainment when child does not do it.
2 Identify trigger as what led to it. Stress ??
3 Gentle reminder. Do not scold and severely criticize
Last option- dentist treatment after 5years

shreya goelMom of a 7 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. Hello mom
You can use mittens to cover your baby’s hands. Or you can provide some hand toys to your baby to distract your baby. You have to keep baby come out every time and this is the only solution. Once your baby turned 16 months old and you can apply femite drops it can help.
