Abstract
Suckling is a physiological act that provides nourishment and comfort to a baby which can be either nutritive or nonnutritive. Nonnutritive sucking can turn into a continuous behavior practiced unconsciously; leading to a harmful oral habit.The extent of damage caused by this habit is dependent on the duration, frequency and intensity. Till the age 3, this habit is termed to be normal. This habit can have a negative impact on speech, psychology and dental development of the child. This article stresses upon the need of combined effort by the different people for the effective treatment planning.
