Why does a one-month-old baby eat their hands?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Babies under one year old "eating their hands" is a normal physiological behavior and an inevitable stage of development. For them, eating their hands is the best way to explore and perceive the world. As long as you pay attention to keeping their little hands clean, "eating hands" itself doesn't pose significant harm, so let them "eat" as they please.
