my mother told me she used to put some salt in my thumb to keep me from sucking. while I dont like the practice of thumb sucking, I let my daughter suck because the doctor told me this is soothing. |

just gently pry his thumb out of his mouth while distracting him. like when you are talking to him about something interesting or while he is distracted with a video... |

i dont like my kids to suck their thumbs too. it destroys the placements of their teeth. I just gently pry away their fingers. |

i didnt let them thumb suck in the first place. even when they were still babies I would take their thumb off their mouths. They did not get into the habit. |

sucking thumb can destroy their teeth. some kids even end up with buck teeth! so i think it is best to discourage this practice early. |

I let them suck their thumbs. I read somewhere that stopping them from sucking can lead to oral addictions like drinking or smoking. |

I let them suck too. I think this is just a soothing mechanism for their part or a way to cover up some insecurity. they usually grow out of it. |

they will stop eventually. usually when they stop drinking from the bottle they stop sucking their thumbs too. |
