A. It’s completely normal for a 2-month-old baby to put her hands in her mouth and make sucking motions. This is part of her natural development and a way she: Explores her body and surroundings, Self-soothes (like when tired, sleepy, or seeking comfort), And practices feeding reflexes. What should you do? Keep her hands clean, as babies this age can’t control germs. Offer a clean pacifier if she wants to suck for comfort (optional). Make sure she is well-fed, as frequent hand-sucking might sometimes signal hunger. As long as your baby is feeding well and gaining weight, there's no need to worry. This behavior will continue for a few months as she grows and develops new ways to interact with the world.
