How to deal with a three-month-old baby who loves to suck their fingers

Patient's question:

The baby refuses to drink milk, cries when the bottle is brought to the mouth and the person sits down, and has a strong tendency to suck fingers.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Taken medicine to regulate the stomach.
What kind of help is needed: Want to know if this is a psychological factor.

Doctor's answer:

The baby loves to suck their fingers, which proves that the baby has developed new interests. Before six months, you don't need to stop them from sucking their fingers, but after six months, if they still do it, you need to correct their behavior. If the baby suck their fingers frequently, you should be patient and play with them to divert their attention. Get some brightly colored toys to attract their eyes. Gradually, they will shift their attention to those soft and cute toys.
