A. Hello, your baby boy is 6 months old and he is putting his hands in his mouth constantly while sleeping so it’s a reflex due to bottle feeding or lack of love from mother

A. Thumb sucking may be normal at this age It may also be due to infection, teething, insecure feeling, If possible give teether Distract ur Baby whenever he or she will do this. It will help. Keep ur baby well hydrated Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day
