A. finger, thumb, hand,things insertion in the oral cavity is very normal at this stage and usually it is due to teething pain the child is experiencing along with inflammation and pain in the gums. just maintain hygiene of the child finger as well as any type of things which goes inside the oral cavity and also try to maintain the hygiene of your finger when you are touching the hands of the child. to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child and if the child is very irritable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also. it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.

A. It’s absolutely not a good habit if you do not discourage a child I know that your child is going to get into the habit of taking it into the mouth all the time and in the long run it is going to be really very very troublesome for you so you need to put a stop to itWrite Your Answer Here
