Dr Muyideen Oladotun · Answer

Hello Rosemary, in addition to the beautiful comments already given, babies not getting adequate breastfeeding also tend to suck their finger. Which finger is the baby sucking? Sucking the thumb is different from sucking the rest of the fingers.

Some babies that suck hand are just trying to itch their gums as a result of teething

No dear, there is nothing u can do. The sucking might not last long cos my baby does that too when he was 2 month old, and now he's 4 month old and nothing Like that anymore. Just give ur baby some time.
