yea... its fine. Sucking can be a sign that a baby is ready for a feed, but babies may suck a lot on their fingers and hands when they are not hungry. This reflex can also cause them to suck on their fingers and hands. This sucking is usually not a sign that a baby is not getting enough milk.

Yes it is okay. 1 month old only. My son did the same and I was laughing to say maybe he was doing that in my tummy :)

Yes it's okay. But I remove his hands from his mouth too. I'm more afraid it becomes a habit of prolonged.

Yes it is fine but please keep observing the duration as it should not become a habit

yes it's ok. They are learning about their own body parts.

Why would you want to let her suck her fingers? 😂
