Suggest Cream To Stop An Infant From Thumbsucking
Hi my baby 4 month old won't stop sucking on her tumbs, I tried everything, even when I put mittens on her hand she sucks through them....is there any creem or gels anything I could use on her tumbs to stop her from sucking on them... I had a overbite and I really don't want my baby to have one too

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion sucking own fingers or hands is a normal developmental milestone at this age. If you do not wish her to do it then gently remove her hands and pat her chest. No gels or creams are recommended for this purpose.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
