Did you/would you get booster during pregnancy?
I’m 26 weeks pregnant and trying to figure out my leave. I live in NJ and work at PwC, any fishes know the policy for NJ and PwC? The leave center has not been much help and I want to plan NOW not like 60 days before. I was told NJ gets two weeks before due date and PwC gives you two weeks as well.

Let him do it. It’s a normal part of his development.
Might be teething. My two month old did the same thing. I asked the ped and she said no way it’s teething. Came back at our four month appt with four teeth
Yesss we had 2 teeth by 4 months.

I would offer a pacifier or let him do it.
As someone who also worried about it so much, let him do it. My baby was hard to soothe in general, I wish I had let him do his thing more without the guilt. Also they'll do it a ton while teething anyways.
It's anecdotal, but my guy sucked his middle two fingers for good while, but naturally stopped on his own. He never would take a pacifier, so my efforts to get him to use that instead were in vain.
My baby did/does this, and from what Ive gathered it isn’t realistically up to you.
What’s wrong with thumb sucking? My toddler did this and he slept so well at night. We would never worry about dropped pacifiers etc.
Hmm, my baby had done this since in the womb. I never really worried about it. At 8 months, he does it a lot less (he is too active to have time for it). He doesn't suck his thumb (I've only seen that once or twice.) Like others have said, I offer my son a teether or pacifier. (At this point, he likes the wrong end of the pacifier more than the proper end).

My baby did the same. I let him do it and it helps him soothe. It’s good for them I read
