Q. My baby is 3.5 months old and since the past two days, he tries to chew both his hands and finally now sucking his thumb. Everyone warns me now to stop this habit . Even before my family members asked me to give pacifier, but I don't want to use it. Now that baby is sucking thumb, I am afraid as it might become a habit.
