Thumb sucking - 6mth old

Yeah I kinda figure it would be hard to stop her anyways, I think I got caught up in the negative comments everyone's been making about it. Grrrrr I thought I'd learnt to just let them slide.....

Thanks Marcellus

If she's 16 and still sucking it then maybe you can worry...
I don't really understand why sucking a dummy would be better than sucking a thumb. Anyway, it's just what babies do.

Missy has just started sucking her fingers. Tonight I was feeding her as usual at bedtime and she pulled away from boobie as if really annoyed with me, stuck her fingers in her mouth and fell asleep. Cheeky!!
