Re: sucking fingers??

  • Yeah, mine is doing this too. I think he's teething. He's also gumming his bottles and paci.

  • yep, its normal.  DS really started gumming things and drooling a ton around 3-4 months.  He goes through like 3-4 bibs per day.

  • My LO just turned 3mo and started with the fingers a week or 2 ago. It's actually helped at bed/nap time because now I don't have to struggle with keeping a paci in his mouth! He's actually come to prefer his fingers over a paci I think...which I would rather him love the paci and not his fingers so much so maybe he'll revert back to it! Seems like the drooling is just getting worse too, he's learned now how to spit sorta so it's getting real fun!! haha

  • LO is doing all of these things, too. And on top of it all she is constantly pulling on her tongue. It's like she realized that it is something she can use and now she can't get enough :)

  • Yup! DD is a little over 3 months, and has been sucking her fingers/shoving her fist into her mouth/drooling excessively for a few weeks. She loves Sophie the Giraffe, but gets so upset when she can't fit the giraffe's entire head in her mouth!

  • Mine has done this since 3 mo.  It's more than just his fingers now too.  Everything heads straight to his mouth and he's just discovered he can get his toes in there now!

  • Hadley has just caught onto this for about the last week or so... and she is obsessed! Seriously, she will want to smile and play with something but can't keep her fingers out long enough to do it.

  • My LO's fingers never leave his mouth. He has his little face and chin all chapped from the drooling and rubbing. I've been using lanolin to clear it up but I just can't keep up with him!

  • Yes, DS does this constantly and has since he was 3 months.  At first I thought he was teething but it's been ongoing and I haven't seen any swollen gums...must be the age!!
  • Mine is always drooling and sucking on her fingers/hand...she even chokes herself and occasionally makes herself spit up from shoving her hand down her throat.

  • LOL she even tries to put in her fingers while eating!
