A. Most of the time, sucking on fingers is a baby’s way of handling a lot of stimulation. These could be new people, noise, and anything else that can get overwhelming for him. Sucking on something reminds him that he’s safe. This is usually accompanied by yawning or moving the head from one side to the other. Another popular reason why babies suck on their fingers is hunger. They don’t understand that only the breasts holds milk, and think that sucking on their thumb will give them milk. This may also be a way of communicating that he is hungry. When babies go through growth spurts, During growth spurts, even after feeding, he may suck on his fingers.
