Your baby could be chewing their hand for many reasons, from simple boredom to self-soothing, hunger, or teething. Regardless of the cause, this is a very common behavior that most babies exhibit at some point during their first months of life

I hope it was only a phase.

All my kids did this and they have thankfully grown out if the habit.

Yep it’s okjust discovering her hands. Can

Wakeful phase LOL what an unusual word group… This is a hard one, as often these types of behaviour are habit forming. My GF’s daughter use to bite her hand, and now, at 18yo has a scar the shape of her bubba and young self mouth on her hand.

I would try distraction method ,or talk to Health care workers

I found when my son did this, his hands became red raw. I ended up putting nipple balm on them to soothe and replace moisture and putting mittens over the top. It was only a phase that lasted about 2 months for my son.

I think its normal for that age!

there are some good comments here

yeah should be fine

She’s three months old…what else has she got te entertain herself with?

It is a natural self-soothing strategy. It’s fantastic that she is doing it.

Perfectly fine! My son never took to a dummy so he often sucked his hands/thumb for comfort. People tried to tell me it would set him up for a very bad habit and it was definitely not the case.

My 6 month old does it. My PH nurse told me it’s a way for them to self-soothe

Yes
