Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. finger, thumb, hand,things insertion in the oral cavity is very normal at this stage and usually it is due to teething pain the child is experiencing along with inflammation and pain in the gums.
just maintain hygiene of the child finger as well as any type of things which goes inside the oral cavity and also try to maintain the hygiene of your finger when you are touching the hands of the child.
to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child and if the child is vezry irritable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also.
it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.
but if hygiene is not maintained then dirty things going inside thze oral cavity can cause infection fever vomiting and loose motions.

So, babies explore things by putting them in their mouths—including their own feet, once they've found them. Besides promoting body awareness, toe-sucking is satisfying and soothing to your little one. So don't discourage it; this phase generally passes on its own.
