Hello Experts..
My little one has just started sucking on his fingers.. he's trying to suck his thumb but doesn't manage to do so most of the time..
Is it ok to let him suck on his fingers or should i give him a pacifier or TRY to stop him before it becomes a habit (not sure if i will succeed in doing so)??
I did some research online & it has confused me even.. so say do not stop the baby from sucking fingers as it's a milestone & baby learns to self soothe.. some say give a pacifier others say don't.. & some say stop it before it becomes a habit as it cause issues with jaw & teeth development..
please help!!!

I was told that sucking fingers it's a milestone and u should not stop this.  Please don't use Pacifier might cause infection on babies.
