A. Hello, your baby boy is 3 months old and he is not teething yet but his habit of thumb sucking may be due to insufficient breast milk and treat it accordingly

A. Hello dear parent! Maintain a good personal and oral hygiene for your baby. Keep cleaning your baby’s mouth and hands frequently with a soft cotton cloth dipped in warm water. It can be either teething or just exploring the body parts. If your baby is showing any discomfort symptoms then consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Continue breastfeeding.
