Parents should remember that thumb sucking is a habit that disappears on its own gradually between 3-6 years of age. ਍ऀऀऀ 㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀ഀഀ

Babies who are teething have a habit of chewing on their thumbs, fingers or hands. This probably helps them relieve the itching on their gums. Parents should try not to confuse this with a thumb-sucking habit. ਍ऀऀऀ 㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀ഀഀ

The extent to which the teeth are displaced will depend on how long the baby sucks her thumb and how she positions her thumb. This displacement of teeth affects the baby’s milk teeth and not the permanent teeth if the habit is curtailed in time. ਍               㰀戀爀㸀        ഀഀ

Persistent thumb sucking may indicate emotional deprivation in the child. Parents should try to identify what is bothering the child and then set it right if possible. Habitual thumb sucking can be treated with corrective measures such as restraints, elbow mitts, bad-tasting substances painted on the fingers, etc. However it may not always work. Distraction with a toy as soon as the child begins to suck the thumb may also work. Encourage the child to give up the habit without punishing or making the child too conscious of it. ਍                 㰀戀爀 ⼀㸀㰀戀爀 ⼀㸀ഀഀ First Created on 05-11-2004
