Question
Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to love to suck their fingers? Are there any ways to improve this habit?
Answer
It is normal for a two-month-old baby to enjoy sucking their fingers, as it is a way for them to explore the world and self-soothe. However, to prevent this habit from continuing, parents can gradually guide their child, such as by providing other toys or comfort items to divert attention. At the same time, ensure that the baby’s fingernails are neatly trimmed to avoid injury while sucking their fingers. In terms of diet, pay attention to the baby’s balanced nutrition, give them plenty of water, and supplement necessary vitamins and trace elements according to medical advice. If the baby has any other unusual symptoms, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.
