A. ho Thumb sucking/putting fingers into mouth 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

A. hi yes it is usually babies at this stage of age try to explore their body parts through touching smelling and tasting so don't worry it is normal. just gently remove your child thumb from mouth whenever your child does this. maintain good hygiene
