LO eating his hand

Hi mummies, my LO keep sucking his mitten until its soaked with his saliva. When removed his mittens, he wants to put his fingers or whole fist in his mouth. He is currently 9 weeks old. Is this a sign of teething? Should I latch him for comfort? Currently just bottle feeding him.

It’s normal. It could be teething or just a suckling action. To babies, it’s very comforting to suckle. They may not be hungry, just want comfort.
