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?

My son started sucking his fingers at about 2 months too and it gradually lessen over time. He's 7.5 months old now and he still does occasionally stuff his mouth with his fingers, although not so frequently anymore.
