Should i be concerned if my baby daughter 3 1/2 months old started sucking her fingers always what should i do ?

Normal pattern: Infants find anything touching their lips will stimulate pleasure sensors in their brain.They are starting to control where their hands can go by 3-4 mo so this is normal. Do not assume this will turn her into a thumb sucker or worse.
