Mom of a 3 yr 10 m old boy3 years ago
Q.

My baby is 8 months old and always put his fingers in his mouth. Elders are saying if he always keeps fingers in mouth lips will enlarge. As a remedy they want to apply neem leaf paste to his fingers and if he put it again due to the bitterness he will slowly stop the habit. can we do this ? is neem paste safe for baby ?

A. Hello dear parent! Do not offer to breastfeed your baby immediately on demand. Try to soothe your child back to sleep or divert the attention. Take the help of your family or spouse. Serve healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating. Good luck and take care.
