1. What “Femite” actually is (scientifically)
• Femite (denatonium benzoate solution)
• Active ingredient: denatonium benzoate 1%
• Purpose: to stop habits like thumb-sucking or nail-biting by making the surface taste extremely bitter

Not recommended. These “no bite” solutions can irritate baby’s mouth/skin and are not needed.
Better to stop gradually:
Reduce one feed at a time, distract/comfort, offer other foods or milk, and avoid sudden stopping.
