Hello sir / ma'am, I want to ask for my 4 yrs old daughter. She has a habit of thumb suking from birth time. Specially during Night sleep and afternoon sleep. She sucks her thumb continuously. We have tried all tactics but nothing work.  She is always burping and develops a lot of gas during night. Pls guide us.

Thumb sucking is normal upto 4 years of age. If a child continues thumb sucking after this age, gentle interventions like positive reinforcement, distractions, and reminders may help. If it becomes a persistent habit, consulting a pediatrician or dentist is advisable.
