Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My child is 20 months old. They suck their fingers and pull their hair while sleeping. How can this bad habit be changed? Please advise!Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, for children who have already developed good hygiene habits, it is important to identify the reasons behind this undesirable behavior. If it is due to improper feeding methods, the first step should be to correct the incorrect feeding methods and overcome poor feeding habits. It is essential to cultivate regular eating habits in children, ensuring they eat at fixed times and in appropriate quantities, with proper regulation of hunger and fullness. Parents should be patient and calm when correcting children's thumb-sucking behavior.
