吃东西，吮拇指

今天，Brooke在吃东西的时候一直把手指放进嘴巴里。我就问保姆，“爲什么Brooke吃比较厚的东西的时候会吮手指呢？”
原来这是因爲，之前都一直把奶吸着吞的宝宝现在正在开始学习“怎么”吃东西。要把食物从嘴巴的前面移到后面的话，最好的方法就是用吸的了。这就是他们爲什么会在吃东西的时候吮手指的原因。如果食物的水分比较多，容易“喝”的话，他们通常不会有太大的问题。食物的质地比较浓的话，您就会看到他们一直把手指放进嘴巴里。
既然吮手指会帮助宝宝学习怎么吃东西，我的建议是就算看到也不要阻止他们。一旦他们比较有经验，也懂得怎么把食物吞下去的时候，他们就会很自然地停止这一类动作。现在虽然会比较乱一点，但是请耐心地坚持下去吧！
Thank you so much for this post! My 5.5 month old son sucks his thumb or fingers while eating and I have occasionally been taking them out to offer him more. Now that I known What he is doing I can be more mindful!
I didn’t realize this was written a decade ago. I was literally wondering why my eight-month-old was doing this today, and it makes perfect sense now. Thank you! This was so helpful to know!
This was so helpful, like the only article I found on this Thank you
