chewing and sucking hands

Hiya

My Lo has taken to chewing and sucking his hands all the time, do you think this is just a comfort thing, he will not take a dummy just spits it out or heaves??

He is 10 weeks, not worried just want to know if this is normal?

    yer my little girl is 13 weeks and she does the same, she has her dummy when she tired but all the other times shes sucking her hands, i think shes just discovered then and doesnt know what they are, babies learn thru putting things in thier mouths.

    LO sucks his hands, fingers, thumbs and a dummy depending on his fancy at the time. He's 12 weeks and starting to put things in his mouth. Luckily this is quite restricted at the moment.
