    DD sucks her thumb allll the time so might have to give this a go as it is affecting her teeth.

    Same reason we stopped DD1, she has some dental issues because of it (and I'm a dental nurse )

    What about the yuk tasting nailpolish that's used to stop nail biters? I remember as a kid licking my friend's nails to see if it really tasted as bad as she said, and it does!

    DS1 was an avid thumb sucker I bought the stuff you paint on that tastes yucky, he tasted his thumb once and never put it back in his mouth. His dentist advised I would have to do something urgently as his gumline and teeth were being affected badly. He was 3 when we did this and took him shopping for a little comforter to replace thumb.
