Hey, looking for some advice as I'm not sure what to do. My DD is 10 weeks old and has recently started sucking on two of her fingers to soothe herself. She usually does it to send herself off to sleep, occasionally at other times as well.
Is this a bad habit? Should I be giving her a dummy instead? I've had my SIL saying almost since she was born that she needed a dummy. I've heard other people say that it's better for her to be sucking her fingers. So now I'm confused!
Any advice would be appreciated!
