Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. 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 dl in some activities also spend good 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 .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. Maybe Other teeth are also coming which is why your child is behaving like this and if you think that’s not the reason then apply something really bitter on the thumb or fingers of your child so your child will stop doing that and if you need to you can also give a wooden teether to the child
