This is normal Nikita. My 4. 5 month baby does the same. Try to distract baby first remove fingers & then by talking, playing with them, start soft music, by toys having sound.

Hi Nikita! This is normal as the baby has now started to explore his own body. However, to see if the baby doesnt form a habit of sucking his thumb or fingers, take his hand off his mouth, engage him in some talks or sing to him.
