    Sophie started thumb sucking at about 11 weeks and being in the dental industry i FREAKED!!!, but to be honast it's not a problem at this age and she self settles very very well by doing it, she's calm and i'm calm!!, i'll worry about in a year or so. but it's very cute!! and very hard to stop.

    Ned LOVES to suck 2 of his fingers on his left hand and it always calms him. I've never tried him with a dummy (DD STILL has one to sleep!) and it's heaps easier imo - totally portable and on hand (pardon the pun!), and no need to sterilise! If it keeps them happy then why not i say!
