[|Human|] hi doctor, my daughter is 1 1/2 years old, she is having the habit of thumb sucking,i felt due this thumb sucking her front teeth will come out , How i can stop this, she is used to suck while go for sleep, when idle sitting, Is it safe to use femite drops.
[|AI|]  . Hi...usually kids do this thumb sucking as a relief seeking behavior or self comfort. This is not a major problem and need not be taken into too much account till 6 years of age. Most child Chat Doctor.  Suggestions - 1. Try wrapping the whole palm till wrist if she does it - so that she will not be able to suck the thumb. 2. If she just keeps the thumb inside and doesn't suck vigorously - nothing will happen to the teeth alignment - so do not worry.3. Punishing her to get her thumb out of her mouth won't help because she probably doesn't even realize she's doing it. Pressuring her to stop may intensify her desire to do it even more.4. Child
