ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. Hello, it's normal at this age group..
it's natural for a baby to put thumb into his mouth to explore them. it is important for hand mouth cordination.
do wipe the mouth and hands off often with a soft, gently cloth.

VandanaMom of 2 children3 years agoA. I totally agree with Nihita. Many said not to avoid and I let my kid suck his thumb. now he is not leaving that habit. it's a worrying thing now and also have to listen to all taunts from relatives n in laws. please spend some more time with the kid to distract him. while feeding hold his hand softly and pamper like kissing n playing with hand. so that they feel comfortable and suck milk instead of thumb.

Nihita mittalMom of 4 children3 years agoA. good evening it is not about the baby feeling hungry it is a matter of habit I would recommend that you should discourage your child for this otherwise this habit will become very difficult to remove
