Yes but how long...<br> Actually thumb sucking is a part of development but it should not be carried out for and beyond 8 months.<br> Giving mittens is not the solution

Oh sorry ,I must have been mistaken at 4 months this is the first activity they start don't worry

<font color ="#3b5998"><b> @616dad538054f30013c5cc08 </b></font> my daughter is 4 months old

Now at 10 months the child should be eating food like khichdi, fruits of course the consistency should be soft so feeding goes on decreasing don't worry.<br> She must be sitting by now so let her play with toys which will keep her distracted and busy with her hands so that she doesn't suck her thumb

I am worried that she will develop this habit and will continue sucking thumb even at the age of 5 or may b later.<br> Secondly, dese days she is not even feeding properly she feeds hardly for 5 mins and doesn't demand for feed till 3-4 hours. I feel this is because of air trapped in her stomach beacuse of thumb sucking. For both these reasons m worried.
