My baby is 3 months and she wants to suck her fingers so bad but cant keep them in her mouth for very long. I know they start sucking them in the womb but when can do they do this consistently.

My son was about three months old when we noticed that he liked to suck his thumb. After that it was in there all the time. He's three and still doing it.

I have a 4 month old daughter and at about 2 and a half months she started sucking on her fists and now shes learned how to find her thumb and she sucks on it all the time. The only thing is make sure that your baby is still eating good. With my baby she tries sucking on her thumb all the time and dose not want her bottle at times.
Congratulations on your new baby

My baby started to suck her fingers ferociously when she turned 4 months (combined with excessive drooling). At 3 months your baby may not have mature motor skill to keep her fingers in her mouth for too long.

My baby started at about three months as well. She loves to suck on them and anything her little hands grasp like her clothing blankets and rattles..she is exploring everything and that is how she learns so I wouldnt prohibit it just make sure her hands are clean or else give her a soother.

my baby is just 4 months old and he loves his fingers!! and he drools also... he likes the pacifier too, so i try to replace his finger sucking with that. it will be harder to get rid of a thumb sucker than it will be to get rid of that passy!!! but i think it is completely normal for them to want to stick their fingers in their mouth and soon after everything within reach will be in their mouth!!

you would favor to seek for suggestion from from others who co-slept and breast fed on call for. the in problem-free words individual i comprehend who did that replaced into nevertheless waking up at the same time with her 2 a million/2 12 months old different circumstances a nighttime. for my area, for me, that would in no way have worked. It did not problem her till the subsequent infant got here alongside. Then it replaced into no longer achievable because he replaced into too massive for a crib and in no way stayed in his mattress. yet it truly is purely one individual i comprehend, so ask others. keep in concepts once you settle on to wean her from the nighttime time nursing, it truly is going to likely be very complicated if she is interior an same mattress as you. yet once you settle on you've had adequate of this manner of excellent type of nighttime wakings and comprehend you and he or she choose 8-11 hours instantly sleep, it truly is going to in problem-free words take some days to get her to stay in her own crib with another "lovie" (except your breast). it truly is going to likely be terrible the first nighttime, undesirable the 2d, depressing the third, tolerable the 4th, somewhat calm the fifth, and chuffed after that. maximum little ones (no guarantees!) will practice particularly with out delay see you later because the dad and mom have shown to be consistent and agency with the hot association. settle on what you want and once you're making the alternative, make a plan, get her a lovie (she might want to chosen a filled animal or blanket to "help her sleep"), clarify what's occurring, and make it take position. you are able to attempt the approach the position you sit down by the crib the first nighttime and each and each and every nighttime progressively sit down farther from the crib. or you are able to to the approach appropriate to leaving the room and returning each and every 2, 3, 5, 10 minutes till they're asleep. lower back, the nice and cozy button is to be 100% particular you receives her to sleep independently, %. a plan, persist with it and also you need to be playing 8 hours of sleep (and your daughter 10 hours) interior of a week of initiating the plan. by the way, it truly is authentic in case you nevertheless feed all nighttime she will in all possibility get the teeth decay or different complications. Forgot about that!
