Mostly seen in infants under the age of 18 weeks. In the first few months, infants often enjoy sucking their fingers when hungry, which is a physiological and psychological habit and need, and is not unusual.Advice: However, if this persists for a long time, it can be difficult to break. Parents should pay attention to this. It is especially important to address the reasons in the family environment that make young children feel frustrated, scared, or jealous, leading to unconscious thumb-sucking, and implement preventive measures. If this bad habit persists after teething, it can interfere with the growth and development of the dental arch, leading to underdeveloped lower jaw, abnormal dental alignment, abnormal bite, and hindering chewing function.
