A. finger, hand,things insertion in the oral cavity is very normal at this stage and usually it is due to teething pain the child is experiencing along with inflammation and pain in the gums. just maintain hygiene of the child finger as well as any type of things which goes inside the oral cavity and also try to maintain the hygiiene of your finger when you are touching the hands of the child. to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child and if the child is very irritable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also. it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.

A. Hi If your child is not eating then only your child is going to become weak so it’s very important that your child follows a proper appetite and sometimes keeping the mouth finger into the mouth of behaving like this is normal because it’s out of habit but in this case if your child is really very weak or you do not feel your child is in gaining weight then you should consult your paediatrician ones
