Mouthing

Hello :)
My little girl (6 weeks old) will keep sucking her hands, my arm, clothes etc even after she’s full after a bottle. I offer her a dummy which she refuses and looks disgusted I’ve offered it 🤣 (she takes one when she wants it)
Any clues on why she is doing this?
TIA x

We try teething toy and she sometimes takes that to help x

My little one does this. He doesn't take a dummy either when offered, will look offended or cry. But sucks his hand to soothe himself/ entertain himself.
I don't think it is teething related, he is just going to be a thumb boy and not a dummy boy 🤣

I assume it’s a self soothing way too. She will take a dummy for sleeping or sometimes when she’s gumming/sucking her wrist but she’s very particular when she wants it haha
