My little one is 3 months old and I've just started to take off his mittens to let him adventure with his hands but he keeps sucking his fist once mittens are off. His fingers have become red because of sucking. Is it okay for him to keep sucking his hands? How do I prevent him from constant sucking? Hope to get some advice

Your baby is exploring his little fingers. Young baby explore through their 5 senses: seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing and touching. It's okay to let baby suckle and let him explore. Sometimes it is a form of self-soothe to sleep. If you worry about the germs, try to wipe his hands as often as possible using wet cloth.
