My 10month old baby will comfort herself to sleep by sucking on the back of her left hand. If i push her hand away, she will wake up / gets angry and all effort to make her sleep will have to restart all over again. How to get her to stop this habit of sucking her hand to sleep?
Self soothing is natural and babies who sleep independently use this action to sleep and stay asleep. PD said you can wean this habit off when she's a toddler through distraction and negotiation.
