Baby's hands are not clean
The baby is active and loves to play. Children are naturally active and prefer to play. When children are playing, their fingers are the most frequently moved parts. Under normal circumstances, babies are used to grasping things. When their fingers are grasping toys or some objects, their fingers will become dirty. Moreover, after the child’s hands come into contact with dirty things, they have not yet learned to wash their hands, and they will easily grow barbs in the end. Babies love to eat their hands, the fingers are soaked with saliva for a long time, causing skin damage around the nails, and barbs will occur. Therefore, try to reduce or quit the habit of biting hands after the baby is more than 1 year old.
