Baby sucking thumb :(

Same problem. My son is three months and mad to put fingers over hours. Doesn't need milk also, happy if sucking his fingers

Gums of baby must be soaring. This is a normal cycle, try to give her/him some good teethers to relax her/his soar gums. Try it, it's a useful tip in distracting baby's mind from thumb sucking..

Can teether be given to a 3month old baby? I thought it is only given to babies at their teething time...

No it can be given at the time of gum building cycle as well to prevent soar gums and this is a gum building phase

Hi Apurva ...every baby goes through this phase ..some forget thumb sucking after a few weeks while some develop the habit of thumb sucking.. you please have a word with your doctor/fellow parents on how to prevent your baby from developing a habit (like using a pacifier or covering the hand with mittens etc).. my daughter started sucking her thumb at 5mnths and nw shez 12 mnths old the habit is still there... I sometimes regret that I didn't do anything to stop her from developing the habit!!

Thnks Aabha.. I'll surely get some method out to prevent my baby from this habit..
