ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. It's quite normal for babies around 3 months old to start discovering their hands and putting them in their mouth as they develop hand-eye coordination and start exploring the world around them. They may also start to lose interest in breastfeeding or bottle-feeding and become distracted by their surroundings.
If your baby is refusing breastmilk and prefers sucking on her hand, you can try different feeding positions or offer a pacifier to help soothe her. You can also consider expressing your milk and offering it in a bottle if your baby prefers that.
It's important to make sure your baby is still receiving adequate nutrition and hydration. Monitor her weight gain and wet diapers to ensure she's getting enough food and fluids.
If your baby is teething, you can offer teething toys or a cold, wet washcloth for her to chew on to relieve any discomfort.
It's important to talk to your baby's pediatrician if you have any concerns or if you notice any other changes in her health or behavior. They can provide advice on how to manage these behaviors and ensure that your baby is getting the necessary nutrition for her development.

Teething could be happening with your child and probably which is why your child is behaving like this thing that you can introduce as of now is teether so you can give it to the child as of now that’s going to be very helpful in settling down irritation into the gums of your child
