Hiyas Ladies,
Loking for a little advise regarding my L/O sucking her thumb. Both of my girls have sucked there thumb since they were in the womb and have shown no interest when I tried to give them dummies when they were born. With my eldest this has never been a problem, when she was old enough to understand we told her she could only suck it at bed time and after a little persistance she stopped doing it during the day.
However with Victoria it has been a different story. Since she was about 18mths she has developed this horrible habit of sucking her thumb and regergitating (sp) her food. It really isn't pleasent. She always smells of sick and often sits there chewing on whatever she has bought up. Not only is it unpleasent, I also worry that it isn't good for her being sick so often. We have tried persivereing with her, rewarding her for not sucking her thumb, even nail biting stuff (meant to leave a nasty taste to discourage fingers in mouths) but she likes it!
Does anyone have any tips for how they stopped there little ones sucking there thumb. Any advise welcome
