Hello :)
My little girl (6 weeks old) will keep sucking her hands, my arm, clothes etc even after she’s full after a bottle. I offer her a dummy which she refuses and looks disgusted I’ve offered it 🤣 (she takes one when she wants it)
Any clues on why she is doing this?
TIA x

We try teething toy and she sometimes takes that to help x
My little one does this. He doesn't take a dummy either when offered, will look offended or cry. But sucks his hand to soothe himself/ entertain himself. I don't think it is teething related, he is just going to be a thumb boy and not a dummy boy 🤣
@Lian I assume it’s a self soothing way too. She will take a dummy for sleeping or sometimes when she’s gumming/sucking her wrist but she’s very particular when she wants it haha
My 8 week old has just started doing the exact same thing and is dribbling loads of!
Maybe teething! My little girl is the same from about the same age she’s now 11 weeks
