My dd did this. I don't think it meant anything, was just a comfort thing.

My dd is a big finger sucker and has nothing to do with teething. Babies have a strong instinct to suck.

Interested in this thread?

My stupid stupid phone!!

It means she has learnt she can control her arms and get her hands to her mouth. She may progress onto thumb sucking or she may not. It's just one of those things they do.

Mine does it too, she's 6 weeks. Also won't take a dummy, it's just a comfort thing.

My DD literally came out sucking her fingers. She wouldn't take a dummy but I persevered and now she loves t and can soothe herself to sleep. Keep trying she may take it eventually

I would say comfort DS had his first tooth at 4 months and done a lot of hand chewing in the month or so before but since it was irritated gums the hand chewing would not send him to sleep, I think when its teething it's not sucking hands they really get stuck in chewing hard on anything they can get in their mouths. Teething or comfort it's nothing to worry about at all.

I know it is still early but have you tried giving the baby teething toys or soft toys to hold.. My son took his dummy when he was a week old. But till now he is still sucking is fingers. (He is 11 month old) it is the teething.

My MIL told me that her second daughter had her first teeth with 3 month.
