I couldn’t resist adding on this topic as I am one mother who objects on `thumb sucking’. Simply because I was a `tumb sucker’ who never got rid of the bad habit till very very very very old (too embarassed to tell you the age! You will flip). I was so old that I even `tied’ my own little cloth bandage on both thumbs to prevent my addiction to the thumb. As you can see even my thumbs as like `extra long and slim’ because of the sucking event which shaped it to be that! So the soothing to bed for both my kids were `zlich’ and I just tolerated their whining through the night. Zara, all hats up to you for your excellent job to `psycho’ her. Amazing she has the ability to do it herself at this age! She is one obedient gal!

That’s pretty good effort, ZMM. I couldn’t wean Grace off till the year she turned SIX! Whew, it was one long task. And yes, her thumb had a boil and may cuts before. She’s good now.

Sue,
I guess most people like to be praised, even adults. 😛

See Fei,
Haha.. you think so?

Samm,
Yeah, our time, where got praising, only caning. 🙁

13th panda,
Starting young. Hope this ‘skill’ won’t give mummy headache in future.

Jasmine,
Hey, I heard psychoing a kid to wean off pacifier is easier, like tell them the pacifier is lost, or ask her to exchange for a toy in the shop etc.
Good luck to you. 🙂

Cocka,
Yes, big girls like to suck on lollies, but bad boys always think otherwise.

?? mummy,
Thank you. My mummy also always say I’m a good girl, although sometimes a bit yai-yai (Cantonese : naughty).

Hui Sia,
It’s before nap time.. I know it’s not good too, but we try to get her to drink some water to rinse her mouth before she naps.
Aiyo, Jo sucked so hard huh? Poor thing. Now weaned off already?

Simple American,
That’s easy for you!
How’s your cruise?

Sabrina,
That’s good huh? I don’t know how come some kids are not hooked on any of these habit.
I offered the breast to Zara too when she was younger, still, some how, in the middle of the night, she preferred her thumb.

WMD,
Your son is just playing with the index finger right? It’s not like he’s hooked?
Sometimes Zara choked herself too, with her thumb sucking..
They are so cute, don’t know how to ‘control’ 😛

Helen,
Hey, I believe it as well, girls are more sensible and ‘kuai’ (that’s why I’m a wee bit worried now what if I’m pregnant with a boy!). The whole parenting approach that I used on Zara may have to change. *bite fingers*

Mumsgather,
Haha.. good luck with you helping your boy to wean off you. 😛
Contented mum,
Yeah, I was glad really that she accepted our approach. 😛

Kittycat,
Thank you.
Baby Lucas is so cute.

Matrianklw,
Thanks.. I hope she gets to read this blog one day as well, and appreciate the things we did. 🙂

Laundryamah,
All the best to you. Your girl is such a cutie! Hope she’ll be easy to wean off.

Chanelwong,
Yes.. but she’s still sucking her thumb when she’s in deep sleep though.. so I won’t say we’re 100% successful yet, but getting there.

Ricket,
Oh my.. changed to suck the pillow corner? Luckily Zara didn’t, she just keep smelling and sniffing her comfort objects.

Domestic Rat,
Hmm.. when did your sis eventually weaned off thumb sucking? I was worried Zara would still be sucking her thumb when she’s school going.

This is all too familiar. My sis was a perpetual thumb sucker. Somehow she just grew out of it, just like she grew out of her smelly bolster.

At least you got the patience to talk to her. I used the bitter oiment on my elder daughter, although she stopped sucking the thumb, but she started to suck the pillow corner.

Oh gosh, my daughter (14 months) sucks her thumb whenever she holds her comfort bolster (only when holding on to the little piggy hanging on the bolster). I do agree that the thumb sucking is good especially when she wakes up in the middle of the night,,it kinda help comforts her back to sleep. I want to wean her off maybe by 2years?? Wish me all the best!

Hi, Zara’s mum! I just dicovered your blog and I had a great time reading all your posts about the super cute Zara! It really moves me that nowadays, parents can even set up a blog to track the progress of their children! Last time, it was just black and white photos that told the stories. I wonder what she’s gonna say when she grows up and have her whole childhood recorded in a blog! I know I’d jump! Well, nice to see such a loving mum! I’ll visit often to read all those really cute posts and pictures!!
