BB 點解要食手手 ?

點解 BB 都鍾意食手手?? 成為好多 "新手媽媽" 感到棘手嘅問題

彤彤都係好鍾意食手手, 有時半夜三更仲會食到 "jap jap" 聲, 唔比佢食會發忟僧大喊

最近睇到一個外國 baby 網站 ( www.babycenter.com ) 解釋為何 bb 會食手手, 其實佢哋係用嚟 soothe (安撫) 自己, 例如 : 半夜醒來, 可以自我安撫瞓返... 叫大家唔洗擔心, 因為等 bb 大 d 會搵到其他方法取代

My baby sucks her thumb all the time. Should I try and stop her?

Expert Answers

The BabyCenter Editorial Team

Babies generally suck their thumb to soothe themselves, which is good, because they need to learn how to rely on their own resources. The ability to regulate or control one's behavior and emotions is an important developmental challenge. When your child sucks her thumb, she's finding ways to make herself feel better without your help.

You don't have to stop your child from sucking her thumb right now. In general, thumb-sucking is more irritating to parents than it is harmful to kids. Your baby will stop when she's ready and has developed other ways of soothing herself.
