At about 6 Weeks she started trying to suck her thumb so I introduced the pacifier and she has taken that until this past week now she spits it out. She hasn't tried her thumb again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2378168 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 13:11:04 +0000 Alivoo01 2378168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither.

He liked his wubbanubs for maybe 2-3 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2378135 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 12:59:29 +0000 KT326 2378135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither. He used me as a pacifier when he was really little (despite our many attempts and lots of money spent on every kind of pacifier out there...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2378128 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 12:55:43 +0000 travelgirl1 2378128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD didn't like either, but used my boob to compensate.</p> <p>DS is heading the same way but I offer a Wubbanub regularly. He chews on the toy more than the paci part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2378118 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 12:45:41 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2378118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had zero interest in pacifiers but she is definitely a thumb sucker (6 months old now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2377754 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 04:18:13 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2377754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS liked his soothie for naps and car rides but stopped showing any interest just before 4 months and now sucks on a few fingers to fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2377742 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 02:44:45 +0000 LindsayLou 2377742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3 months, she prefers her thumb or various other fingers most of the time, but will also take the pacifier sometimes. Having her hands near her face has always been a soothing mechanism for her, and she was quite happy when she figured out that she could suck her thumb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2377727 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 01:34:25 +0000 autumnlove 2377727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 thumb, LO 2 thumb, LO 3 likes Nuk pacifers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2377710 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 00:26:15 +0000 birdofafeather 2377710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>her two fingers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2377667 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 23:42:24 +0000 youboots 2377667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither.

She used a soothie for a couple of months, but she never really took to it. Now, she sucks her pointer and middle finger to self-soothe. When she was younger, she'd suck any combo of two non-thumb fingers. Ha. Now it's always the same two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2377627 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 22:47:23 +0000 Greentea 2377627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did a pacifier.

I don't think he ever sucked his thumb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/binky-or-thumb#post-2377465 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 20:38:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 2377465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your kids use a pacifier, thumb, or neither?</p> <p>My oldest used soothies and wubbanubs. She was so, so attached to them. She still has them actually - "green binka" (frog) and "pink binka" (pink bear). I have cut the pacifier part off now obviously. </p> <p>My youngest used soothies or wubbanubs for a few months then dropped them very abruptly - she exclusively and obsessively sucks her thumb! And only the left one for some reason.. </p>
