The baby is one year and four months old and still always eats their hands. What should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This is because the baby's oral stage has not yet passed, so it is important to pay attention to cleaning their hands more often. During the day, if the baby starts to suck their hand, immediately divert their attention and engage in more interactive play. First, try to eliminate daytime sucking, and if the baby is uncomfortable due to teething, give them a teething ring.
