and then hands. After being amazed to see them they want to know what or how it is so they put them
in their mouth. As they grow older, they start to put everything they see in their mouth because of this
simple reason, to explore. So u need not worry about this. Just keep the baby's fingers clean and trim
the nails. Make sure there isn't any objects which can cause choking hazard around the baby. Keep her
surroundings hygienic and clean. Try to remove her fingers from the mouth whenever possible and
divert her attention by showing new toys, singing to her or playing with her. U can use mittens, but she
will start to put them in her mouth too. Using a pacifier is encouraging another habit which u will have to eventually wean off.
