Question
My baby is two and a half months old, and I sometimes see him sucking his fingers. Is this okay?
Answer
This is a normal behavior. At two months, a baby’s oral cavity is quite sensitive, and they like to have something in their mouth to suck on when they’re not feeding. At this time, the mother should pay attention not to discourage this behavior. First, do not buy a pacifier for the baby, as this may lead to dependency.
