Baby sucking fingers

My baby is coming to 8 weeks old and past 2 weeks or so he has learned how to bring his hand/fingers to his mouth and love sucking it everynow and then. It looks cute like he’s self soothing when theres no pacifier in his mouth. Is this considered a “milestone” or should i prevent him from sucking his fingers/hand?

I didn’t prevent mine. Just make sure the nails are short.
