Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 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 in some activities also spend good time with the child .
In extre nme case withdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .

This is due to teething... They want tu chew everything around them. So no give ur baby teethers as they put pressure on gums and give relief to baby from pain and itching during teething. Take care
