Is It Safe To Use Femite Lotion To Remove Finger Sucking Habit In Children?
My daughter who is 2 years old has a habit of sucking her 2 middle fingers during the day and night .... I have heard about a lotion Femite which is bitter in taste to use for getting rid of such habit.... want to know how safe is it to use on kids... any side effects ?
No Bite Femite is a safe preparation ,it is not really a medicine but rather just a herbal kind of preparation (like neem juice )which helps in controlling thumb sucking behaviour in children
Thumb sucking can continue till the age of 2-5 years and is considered normal upto 2 years of age .
Though the success rates are variable , No adverse effects have been reported .
