Anyone have an idea as to why DD is doing this? Has been doing on and off for a while and now it is getting worse. The bites are so unattractive. Doing it any time of day including after feeds.

some babies like to suck-give her a dummy-ours didn't take to it for months but chilled quite a bit after we gave it her-now just need to get the damned thing off her...

Ah she just loves sucking and gets lots of comfort from it. DS who wasn't particularly 'sucky' would end up sucking my nose while I was winding him after a feed if he was particularly sleepy

Thank you both. Have tried a dummy and will perservere with it.

Maybe a little blanket / muslin / bear or something if she doesn't go for the dummy?
