Sucking fingers and sucking thumb

Does anyone else’s baby do this? I’m worried her mouth hurts and she’s trying to relieve herself as her brother just had really bad HFM in his mouth! Or is it just a developmental thing? Her sleep has tanked to 6 wake ups a night as well! I don’t think it’s teething as she’s only 9 weeks and no other teething signs. Any ideas?

It is a developmental thing! They’re discovering their hands, it should die out a little bit over the next few weeks but keep an eye just incase xx

Oh my little girl who’s 8 weeks was sucking her thumb in womb hehe. We have her 5 month scan photos of her sucking her a thumb which she does it now and then. Tbh she does it to soothe herself and I’m it’s nothing to worry about. Also when I do have her in a sleep suit I put the mittens on which stops it being a habit 💕

@Yass ours did the same in scans but somehow stopped when she was born and has just stated again! She’s 11 weeks now x
