I will try my hardest and do whatever is needed to avoided a thumb sucker. Not knocking anyone, I'm a major germ phobe. Also my 3 year old stepdaughter is s thumb sucker, and was hospitalized - 2 years ago because she got a staph infection that entered through a blister on her thumb from sucking it. Terrified me, it settled in her spine and she couldn't walk. I refuse to go through that.</p> <p>My son had a paci and gave it up very easily. I'm not worried, she spits it out/refuses it when she doesn't want it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-35025 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:03:27 +0000 cupcakemama 35025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine HATED it! Did not want to know about it! So far no thumb sucking either (crosses fingers) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-35019 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:44:33 +0000 venice4504 35019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Binks is his best friend. It falls out when he sleeps and it's a pain to have to go back and pop it in his mouth at night if he wakes up. He also faux binks. Mouth moves like it's in but it's not. Cutest thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-35018 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:44:12 +0000 pelikila 35018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once we found the right brand my son started to love his pacifier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-35015 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:36:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 35015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Intense paci lover. If he could collect them all he would. Sometimes we put 4 or 5 in his crib to be sure he always has one on hand and he gets all excited he starts giggling. It's pretty funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34958 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:29:27 +0000 mrs. wagon 34958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RJ had one pretty much 24/7 except after falling asleep for the first 4 or so months of his life. Once he found his fingers, he didn't need it anymore. He's always been soothed by sucking, so these both were great tools to get him to sleep on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34957 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:29:06 +0000 Rubies 34957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO can't hold a paci in her mouth - she was "tongue-tied" at birth and when she got snipped, her tongue still wasn't "loose" enough to hold a paci... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34955 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:27:27 +0000 Maysprout 34955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, once in awhile she would in the car but that didn't last long. She's also not a thumb sucker. Baby looked like she was sucking her thumb in one of the sonograms so I'm a bit surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34953 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:24:41 +0000 Rubies 34953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I love watching LO search for her thumb...Her mouth is gaped open and she's huffing and puffing for it until it finally lands in her mouth. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34877 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:12:20 +0000 chopsuey 34877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never gave my LO a paci. She liked sucking on her fists and fingers.. now she tries chewing/sucking on everything she can get her hands on. -.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34868 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:50:59 +0000 heffalump 34868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I love the thumb sucking! I have a friend who's baby loses the paci in the middle of the night so she has to go pop it back in. When my LO loses her thumb, she just takes a few minutes to find it on her own. And I don't have to wake up and get out of bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34867 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:50:55 +0000 Andrea 34867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, my LOVED her paci and it was super helpful. But then when we took it away she was fine, too, so I don't think it is a bad habit if you don't overuse the paci and take it away early enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34865 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:49:28 +0000 Rubies 34865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, LO won't...But she's a champion thumb-sucker to soothe. I guess, I'm okay with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34860 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:44:09 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 34860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank heavens, yes. I don't look forward to breaking him of it, but we also don't give it constantly. However, it is tremendously helpful when he is otherwise taken care of but simply needs to self-soothe a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34859 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:42:40 +0000 heffalump 34859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO wouldn't take one. At first I didn't want to give her one... but then she seemed to love sucking sooo much. The nurse at the hospital told us to use our finger to soothe her, and she loved that. So I quickly gave in but she wouldn't take it. I tried a few different kinds but paci's just aren't for her.</p> <p>And then a couple of months later we found out why. She's a thumb sucker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-pacis#post-34858 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:39:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 34858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie and Olive never took to one. That's ok with me -- one less habit to break. But I do see the upsides of using one especially if it calms your child and/or helps them sleep.</p> <p>Does your LO take a paci? </p>
