Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Thumb sucking in infants is a very normal phenomenon and its called mouthing reflex and nothing to be worried about it just maintain proper hygiene and with time this thing will go .
In the toddlers thumb sucking habit is also seen many a times which could be phycological cause and feeling of insecurity or some strress . Just try to make the child comfortable and divert in some activities also spend good time with the child .
In extreme case withfdrawal can be tried with some solution available which are bitter like femite lotion . It needs to be applied locally .

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl3 years agoA. hi
kids do this when they feel stressed or anxious
so , please make sure your child is well cared and feel secured
try to offer other comfort objects like soft toy , blanket etc.
but please don't scold or yell at your child for this
stay calm consistent and positive
