Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. 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 youfr finger when you are touching the hands of the child.
to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child fand 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.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. In the second month of life, babies continue to have a strong sucking reflex. You may notice your baby likes to suck on a fist or a few fingers. This is one of the best ways babies have of comforting themselves. At 2 months, your baby doesn't yet have the coordination to play with toys.
