Jefferene, that’s very comforting.

Tried giving her the pacifier but she just wouldn’t take it, so I guess we’ll let her continue with her thumb.

Btw, Jefferene, do you have a blog, b’cos your profile doesn’t link to one.

My girl also a thumb sucker and she is stubborn i.e only suck her left thumb, no right thumb, no pacifier. She hurts her left thumb too.

I think I don’t agree that pacifier is easier to wean as pacifier can stuff in their mouth whenever they are playing or sleeping but as for thumb, they can’t play and thumb sucking at the same time.

For my gal, she is now 13 mths and has gradually weaning herself from thumb sucking i.e she didn’t suck her thumb as much as she was younger and her thumb look fine now!

Ya. you may wan to try the pacifier cos it is easier to wean off than thumb. I will pull out my gal’s thumb whenever she puts in. In the end, she will suck other fingers. my mom says as long as they dun suck thumb but other fingers , it is easier to wean off.

yeah… better that she’s on the pacifier and i’ve heard from another mummy that her doc told her that it’s very very hand to stop thumb-sucking in comparison with the pacifier

i’ve also seen with my own eyes a lil girl of 3 or 4 with her thumb all red and painful (to me la, not to her…) and was told by her uncle that she just loves sucking thumb
