A. hi, your baby is 4 months old,sucking fingers is a natural tendency of babies of this age,you need not worry and apply anything aversive chemical on hands as it's risky that your child might suck that chemical inside mouth

A. Hi dear.. Your baby is just playing... Actually It's a milestone. They slowly start observing and They start playing exploring with their body. Let them play and explore and learn. . Maintain hygiene. Let parts be clean and hygiene. So don't do that.
