      Let your baby suck his or her thumb often

      When infants and young children suck their thumbs, they will ingest various parasite eggs and germs. They will also lose a large amount of saliva, which will affect the resistance of the gastric mucosa. Over time, they will suffer from ulcers in children.

      baby People often have the habit of sucking the thumb on one side, causing the upper teeth on the same side to move outward and the lower teeth to move toward the middle, causing them to become misaligned.

      Therefore, parents should try their best to help children get rid of the bad habit of thumb sucking.
