Is your DC obsessed with their fingers?
My DD is sooooo obsessed with sucking her fingers now, to the point they get in the way of her feeding--she sticks them in her mouth and breaks the seal while breast of bottle feeding.
Is this just a phase or something to worry about?! TIA!

DS does the same. I started holding his free hand and placing his lower arm around my back, like he is giving me a hug. It has helped him to stop while BF. If I have to give him a bottle, I swaddle him to keep him from getting his fingers in the way.

Yes!!
DS is a major thumb-sucker now... he is completely addicted and won't calm down in the crib untl he can find it.
DD just tries to put her entire fist down her mouth and has gagged herself a few times

Re: Is your DC obsessed with their fingers?
yes--he puts his entire hand in his mouth---i read in the books that it is normal--they are just learning that their fingers are attached to them

Julia use to do that too when she was small, she would just stare at her hands and wave them in front of her, like OMG! this is the coolest thing ever!
