Hello doctor,
My 9 months old baby boy is addicted to thumb sucking while sleeping and other time also. What to do to break the habit of thumb sucking?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The habit of thumb sucking by the babies is related to probably lack of breastfeeding, and sometimes it is seen as habitual sucking. It is reported to be due to a lack of care and insecurity are also the reasons.
You can gently remove his thumb whenever you see and when he can understand, you can tell him that it is a bad habit. You need not worry as most of the children grow out of this habit by themselves if left alone.
