My baby is 2 months old and I've just started to take off his mittens to let him adventure with his hands, but he keep sucking his fist once the mittens are off. Even his fingers are red from the sucking. Is this okay and if not ok, how do I prevent him from this constant sucking?

Yup, like what Rose mentioned. It is a normal behavior. You baby has simply “discovered” his hands and sucking on his fist is just a self-comforting behavior. You need not be too worried about this. :)
