What is the reason for a 3-month-old baby eating their fists whenever they cry at night?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for a 3-month-old baby to eat their fists whenever they cry at night? The child is full!!!!

Doctor's answer:

It should be some sensory and motor development for the baby. As they grow older, they gradually realize that their hands are like this, or they can feed themselves this way. This is a normal phenomenon.
