Prarthana BansalGuardian of 3 children1 week agoA. In most of the cases children put thumb to console themselves. Make sure your kids stomach is full, diapers / nappies should be monitored carefully and timely. Sometimes because of gastric problem kids put finger in their mouth to console and even when a mosquito bite. if your child is between 6 months -1 year . high chances because of teething
