Baby sucking thumbs

2024-01-09 10:53:50
Hi, My baby is 77 days old breast fed baby is weighing 6.3kg. Now he is sucking his thumb severely whenever he is awake and sometimes in sleep also... I am trying to change the thumb.. but at the time, he is getting irritated .. will thumb sucking affect gum to protrude out, and will it make tooth deformities?By giving teether, can we change the habit?
