Baby sucking thumb

2023-04-27 11:32:34
My baby is 6 months old and he has just started sucking his thumb. Earlier he used to suck all fingers but now he just sucks the right thumb all the time. If I take that away from him he cries out of control. Is there any way of getting rid of this habit. Dat by day it's becoming more strong.

Don't force the removal. Child will leave it on his own. It is a way of soothing for pain. It is a phase. Will go away on its own.
