POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy4 years agoA. If your baby is sucking on his finger, he might be hungry, especially if he is in the growth spurt Breastfeed him right away if possible, or feed him with bottled breastmilk or formula milk, if you need some rest. Do keep your doctor in the loop about his progress.
If your baby shoves his entire fist into his mouth, you can entice him to remove his hand by giving a toy. This will make him want to grab it, for which he would have to bring his hand out. There is a good chance he will stuff the toy instead so opt for a soft toy or something that is clean and chewable. Some babies also keep sucking one hand and use the other hand to grab the toy.
This might come as a surprise, but it is best to let your baby be himselfit is a good sign of his development and means that he is gradually getting independent. Do check whether his diaper is wet or he’s facing any discomfort.

don't worry ,it is normal
babies at this stage of age try to explore their body parts through tasting , smelling etc
so just gently remove his or her hand from mouth.
as baby grow he or she will outgrow from this.
