Thumb sucking
4 years ago
Hello. My almost 3 year old finally decided to give up sucking her thumb 1 month ago...while she has been determined to kick out the bad habit because she understands the consequences, recently there has been a few occasions where she had her thumb in her mouth during her sleep or just as she was about to fall asleep... is there anything I can do to help her ?
Answer
It is very little you can do at this time, other than put a bitter substance like aloe sap on her thumb.
