DD is officially a thumb sucker. Over the last few weeks we've noticed her sucking on it when she's sleepy and can hear her do so over the monitor during the night. Hey don't get me wrong, it's great as she puts herself back off to sleep.

The last 3 days though, all she wants to do, awake or going off to sleep, is suck on her thumb! She doesn't have a dummy and we've never tried one. I don't really think we need one? I guess my Q is should I be discouraging it at least when she's awake, or just go with the flow? Or am I just over-thinking things too much (I'm quite skilled at that!)

I guess it could be related to teething, but so many things over the last month could be, and there's no sign of any yet.
