4mo boy has sucking blisters on his fingers. what should i do?

Common...: Blisters from sucking are very common. You don't want to pop them. Let them be and keep the hands clean. You can try to keep his fingers out of his mouth by using baby mittens/hand covers but in reality - they are pretty good at getting them off :) Try to replace the fingers with a pacifier is another option. Not worrying about them is my best advice :)
