吃東西，吮拇指

今天，Brooke在吃東西的時候一直把手指放進嘴巴裡。我就問保姆，“爲什麽Brooke吃比較厚的東西的時候會吮手指呢？”
原來這是因爲，之前都一直把奶吸著吞的寶寶現在正在開始學習“怎麽”吃東西。要把食物從嘴巴的前面移到後面的話，最好的方法就是用吸的了。這就是他們爲什麽會在吃東西的時候吮手指的原因。如果食物的水分比較多，容易“喝”的話，他們通常不會有太大的問題。食物的質地比較濃的話，您就會看到他們一直把手指放進嘴巴裡。
既然吮手指會幫助寶寶學習怎麽吃東西，我的建議是就算看到也不要阻止他們。一旦他們比較有經驗，也懂得怎麽把食物吞下去的時候，他們就會很自然地停止這一類動作。現在雖然會比較亂一點，但是請耐心地堅持下去吧！
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
