Thumb Sucking Infant

2021-08-20 17:20:34
I have a 4 month old daughter, delivered on 31-March-2021. She has started to suck gis thumb most of the time. I have listened that if baby keeps sucking thumb it reduces there hunger and also is the reason for the teeth disalignment if not taken care at early stage. My baby is completely healthy. Can you please suggest something like any oil, ointment or medicine that is safe for baby and she stops sucking her thumb. Thanks in advance.
