POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. Don’t Be Harsh: One of the biggest mistakes that parents make is getting upset about thumb sucking. As the behaviour is prompted due to anxiety, adding negativity is only going to increase the stress level for the infant.
Finding Their Own Path: Most infants eventually grow out of the habit without any intervention being needed.
Distractions: Find out when your baby starts sucking on his thumb. These should help you identify the triggers for thumb sucking, such as watching television or being left alone in a room. You could distract your child using words or actions when you are in the room. In case you need to go out of your baby’s field of vision, get a toy that you know would keep him engaged.
