People try to stop this habit by various tricks like applying Neem paste , chilly powder etc but these are wrong things& must NOT be done . Nipple sucking habit is manifestations of insecurity so try to keep the baby secure by bonding . Don’t forcefully remove the nipple while sucking but give security to baby by neglecting this act & distracting baby’s attention with other interesting things.
