Sucking hand

My little boy is 3 months old and constantly sucking his hands to the point where his fingers go red, does anyone else have this problem? What do you do to help?

Literally can relate!!

Have you tried a teething glove/mit?

Same!!

@Zara where can you get these from x

Amazon! However there are so many variations your baby might prefer one he can hold if he’s not keen on the glove so have a look!

Yes same here. She doesn’t grab things and suck them yet and with the teething mitt she just hits herself in the face as she can’t control her hands properly yet plus she’s just more interested in sucking her hands. We’ve had to swaddle her to sleep (she doesn’t roll yet) as she won’t sleep for sucking her hands😆 I think it’s just a developmental thing!

Yeah mines sucks her hands like crazy but I noticed she stares at her hands for a while before putting them in her mouth so it’s definitely good for development as it’s improving her hand eye coordination. The mit helps her wee gums as I think she’s teething early. X

Yes same here. Some days it is constant. He's trying to get his thumb in his mouth. It's cute. But I think he is starting to teeth!

My baby doing the exact same thing! All four fingers of even the five deep inside her mouth… I don’t know if it’s teething or just the fact that they aware of their hands now
