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
