Hi all mummies and daddies,

Sorry if this has been ask before but i cant search the related topic. Anyway, anyone have an experience on stopping baby from thumb sucking. My baby already 5 months going in 6 months. I cant find a way to stop her from sucking her thumb and i do not want her to use pacifer also. Any parent can help? Thank you and Very appreciate your input.

It is not life treatening bad, just don't want it to be a habit till older age. Some say might alter teeth orientation. For me I just don't like the smell that generated after.

I sapu cili on the thumb. Work like magic. Ahhahahaha.

Your child just 'discover' the wonder of hand and is now exploring them. Soon she will discover her toes. Just make sure her hands don't touch any dirty surface before putting in her mouth. Or give her a teether, but you have to trial and error until you found a teether she likes. My son went through 5 teethers before liking his current one. But still slip his hands into his mouth frequently. I just make sure to frequently clean his hands.

Alright, i will try to find teether for her then. Thanks for the useful information.

1st scare very hard to get rid of the habit of using pacifier.
2nd they said it not good for growing teeth.
