My baby is only a year and 3 months old. Should I already stop him from sucking two of his fingers now? later? or just let him stop doing it on his own?

Sucking fingers is an addictive habit. To avoid kids sucking their fingers even when they are grown,it is necessary to replace the fingers with medicated nipples.

Ask your momma if you suck your little fingers when you're still a baby. That will put an end to your worries.

If it bothers you, then make him stop but it will eventually go away, I have never seen a 30 year old still sucking his thumb so there is light at the end of the tunnel
