A. finger, 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 hygieene 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. Hello mom Babies do this and it is quite good. Now you can provide some hand toys to your baby so it will be difficult for baby to take hand in mouth. Or you can also use baby hug mittens to cover you baby is hence it will help to cover your baby’s hand so baby can’t take hand in mouth
