My parents trying to make me stop and them always asking if I still did it just made me hide it and be ashamed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-thumb-suckers#post-1456375 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 20:30:17 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1456375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question. R is 20 months and I don't foresee it ending anytime soon. Truth moment- I sucked my pointer finger until I was ~9.</p> <p>ETA- I don't know how to make one stop doing it though. Especially at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-thumb-suckers#post-1456370 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 20:28:57 +0000 prettylizy 1456370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your LO give it up? DD will be 2 in a few weeks and is a thumb sucker despite my efforts to make her a soother baby. When she found her thumb she rejected the soother and that was that. I'm not super concerned about it yet, but I don't know how to ever make her stop! She does it when she's tired, crabby and scared. </p>
