Many children automatically give up behaviors related to their mouth, such as eating their fingers, before the age of three. However, if a child experiences abnormal behavior and continues to eat their thumb at a certain stage, many parents are very troubled and always try to change their child's habit. So, what should we do if the baby always eats their thumb?
1. If the baby is not well satisfied with their diet, they will satisfy themselves through their natural sucking instincts if they do not get much satisfaction from daily nutritional supplements. Therefore, parents should strive to change their child's eating habits, so that the baby can be satisfied with their diet as much as possible and gradually change the habit of eating thumbs up.
2. Parents should shift their children's focus and change the way they seek stimulation, so that the baby's attention will be distracted and they will not eat their thumbs frequently. This habit will gradually improve.
3. Life can sometimes be monotonous and lonely, with hands always on the body. Encourage children to participate in more activities to make their lives more fulfilling, not monotonous, and not very boring or lonely. With a lot of participation and time, babies will feel that their lives are very colorful.
4. Babies may lack zinc, and if they lack this element, it can also cause them to always eat their thumbs. Parents should supplement zinc for their babies through various means.
