A. yes you can use teether otherwise it's normal for a 3 month old to suck fingers as a sign of development and keep baby's hands clean

A. Hello! At this age, babies are entering the stage of development where they use their mouth to explore their environment and soothe themselves. Increased saliva and hand sucking can sometimes be early sign of teething. You can try using Babyhug teethers for your baby
