Food for Thought

Akki is developing bad habit of sucking thumb.Whenever I take his thumb out of one hand he immediately puts in thumb of his other hand.I am wondering how does a 6 month know that he has 2 hands ...and more precisely that he has 2 thumbs which he can put in his mouth!!!

Thumb-sucking is the way babies soothe themselves. Aashna was also sucking her thumb for a couple of months when she was about 5-6 months old. She could soothe herself to sleep.
Thumb-sucking doesn't affect dental structure unless a 5 year old kid is doing it, most babies grow out of it by 2 years of age. Aashna grew out of it in 2 months :)
