Thumb sucking

[Aphrael]

I've got both. My DD1 was a dummy sucker and we managed to kindly put it away at 2, she only ever had it for bed anyway. My DD2 is a thumb sucker, I love that I dont need to get up to her at night (was forever doing it with DD1) but I do worry what it will do to her teeth if she continues, I guess we'll deal with that as it comes. She only ever has her thumb in her mouth at night and during the day when she's tired, I just take it out again and play with her (she laugh's coz it makes the pop sound sometimes).

I really dont care what other's think tho, its none of their business as she's my child!

Anyway, thats my take on it if it helps!

Cheers,

Beck

I friend of mines DD had dummies - do do's she called them. Everywhere they went she had to have 3. One in the mouth, & one in each hand. Then of course 2 or 3 spares in the bag in case one got lost.
They gave them to Santa just before she turned 3.

Leave him to it, I say. Jack has a dummy, but, most the time he has his whole hand in his mouth, not just his thumb, LOL.

My son's still a thumb sucker and he's 16 months old. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. He only does it for sleeps, not all the time, and I like that he can comfort himself without me having to always have a dummy on hand.
And it's really cute

I sucked my thumb for 12 years (only at night in the older years ) - Didn't do me any harm, never did anything to my teeth. I just liked doing it!

I`d leave him, DS#1 was a thumb sucker (was in the womb as well as was born with sucking blisters), he didn`t suck his thumb for too long at all not like myself LOL
