A. dear mother putting fingers of thumbs or effect in the mouth is very natural in the case but you have to constantly keep on removing otherwise they will grabs the habit of it as for the thing is concerned it can start a third month onwards and can get delayed for up to one year so there is nothing to get worried that as it is a natural process
