Q. Hello doctor, My son is 2.5 months old and now has the habit of sucking his thumb. Initially he used to soothe himself but now he keeps sucking his thumb even when he is hungry. He is not crying or is hungry for milk and if hungry tries to soothe himself with his thumb only. What should I do? He is active and pees 12-15 times a day.#AskTheExpert
