My baby is 2 months old and he is sucking his hand and thumb. I have read that it's related to baby development but not sure if it's hunger cue or not. Should I stop him? If I do so he starts crying

A. dear It is normal developmental behaviour of baby known as mouthing, Baby's way of exploring things. babies outgrow it. if baby is passing urine 6 to 8 times in 24 hours is active alert and gaining adequate weight then feeding is sufficient
