My little angel is attempting something that I vowed no other child of mine would do.. well not another one, that is. I haven't gotten an action shot of her doing it yet..but I bet you will be able to guess what it is she is attempting from the pictures below....
Just getting started.. same age as Eva trying it now....
Noah didn't take a paci or thumb so I was unprepared when Anna came. Anna sucks her thumb and still does (she'll be 5 this month) and I swore Mary would NOT do it - the thumb that is! So I forced the paci on her - she would gag and make a scene but I stuck with it and now she's loves her paci! YAY! But occassionally I will see her with her thumb in her mouth...BUT it's nothing like Anna!! So, it's FUN!
Oh, I've got a little thumb-sucker. He really only does it when he's sleepy though so I'm ok with it. Hopefully he'll wean himself off it in the next couple months.....(*hopefully*).
He's funny though. He was a paci-lover for the first 6 months with some occasional thumb sucking, then he switched. Wouldn't take the paci and looooved his thumb.
Av tried to suck her thumb at 4 mos. and I wouldn't let her:) I would go in her room and pull her thumb out and replace it with a paci. It was so cute at that age, but I knew it would be harder to break later on. Good luck..lol!
What did we do before pacifiers?! I've never seen an adult sucking his thumb, so I think it will all be fine thumb sucker or pacifier. I personally think the thumb is cuter, but haven't had to break anyone from it yet (I did have a paci sucker and it was pretty easy to break but I also have friends that broke their son of the thumb, so it is also doable). So it is the the lesser of two evils: having your child suck on a piece of plastic (you know what all the health nuts say about plastic these days!) or on a nasty thumb that has been touching only who knows what!

Kids are weird.
