Thumb sucking
Anyone’s little ones sucking their thumb? Mine had started to and I don’t know how I feel about it or what to do about it but I don’t want it to effect his teeth or speech, he is 4 months, is intervention needed or is it a phase?

Yes and it's a good thing imo because then they can use it to self-soothe. My first did this and she's now 3, no teeth or speech issues and October baby has been doing it for a couple of weeks. Now he can self-settle to sleep and re-settle himself throughout the night.
My little ones hands are never out of his mouth. Although I have noticed him try and get his thumb but he normally has it tucked between his index and middle finger. He sucks more on his index finger 🤣 I personally was a thumb sucker as a baby and through early childhood, had no issues with speech or teeth!
