Zara is a thumb sucker since birth. We did try to give her the pacifier<\/a> in the very beginning but she used to spit it out, and stuff her hand into the mouth instead (before she found her thumb). She has a permanant bump on the thumb and sometimes when she sucks too hard, a little cut<\/a> is found.<\/p>\n

Last week, I found her thumb was even bleeding a bit from all the sucking, so I took out the pacifier and tried to offer it to her. She did suck on it, like trying out a toy. Here is a video captured with her using pacifier. She had her hand placed below her chin all the time, afraid of the pacifier falling, a sure sign that she’s not a pacifier user.<\/p>\n

5 minutes later.. it was back to the thumb (photo below taken on a different day).
