POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 years agoA. Babies are born to suck. Sucking is a normal newborn reflex because it’s how they eat. So it’s definitely a good thing that your baby has figured it out already.Sucking calms your baby down. Even when you’ve just finished feeding your baby, she might still need to suck some more. But that doesn’t mean she’s ready to eat again. Not only do they have to suck to fill their tummies, babies also need “non-nutritive” sucking, the kind that soothes them. It’s the whole reason we have pacifiers in the first place. And some babies, like your own little thumb-sucker, like non-nutritive sucking more than others.Thumbs are always at hand. There's another explanation for why your baby is already sucking her cute little thumb: It's right there. Of course, the first few times were probably just accidental taste tests, but when your baby figured out how comforting (and accessible!) her thumb was, she quickly learned how to get it into her mouth on purpose.
