Hands in mouth
My 8 week old keeps putting his hands in his mouth. He isn’t hungry as it can be just after a full feed etc, I’m starting to think he is doing it for comfort? Or could it be something else?

Mine does exactly the same. Usually when she is tired
My girl has just started doing this too. They start exploring their hands at this age it's also soothing for them x
Mine does exactly the same. I think he’s just finding his hands and comforting. Since he’s been doing it, he doesn’t want a dummy
Thanks all for the reassurance!
As others have said it's just exploring. Highly recommend getting some teething toys (matchstick monkey is great!). Encourage them to keep developing their control if they're eager!
