I agree to give her something to hold in her hand, also I would keep pulling it out or just hold it out if she'll tolerate that. How old is she? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thumb-sucking-and-nursing#post-2172966 Sat, 09 May 2015 16:47:39 +0000 rachiecakes 2172966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aw lol I totally forgot about J doing this when he was small!<br /> I would just keep trying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thumb-sucking-and-nursing#post-2172951 Sat, 09 May 2015 16:07:09 +0000 autumnlove 2172951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, LO 2 went through this too. I pulled it out of her mouth and she stopped eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thumb-sucking-and-nursing#post-2172884 Sat, 09 May 2015 13:27:38 +0000 FaithFertility 2172884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old? DD does this but I think it is for teething reasosns </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thumb-sucking-and-nursing#post-2172860 Sat, 09 May 2015 12:40:20 +0000 miramira 2172860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS does this, but with his other fingers. It's been going on a while but he seems to be doing it less and less. It hasn't affected my supply. If your LO is content after nursing, has plenty of wet/dirty diapers and is gaining weight, I wouldn't worry. I think they just don't realise they can't have everything in their mouth at all times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thumb-sucking-and-nursing#post-2172821 Sat, 09 May 2015 11:30:30 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2172821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS did this too, so annoying! It eventually stopped. Maybe give her something else for her hand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thumb-sucking-and-nursing#post-2172797 Sat, 09 May 2015 10:48:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 2172797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby loves her thumb. She's recently started slipping it in the side of her mouth while nursing. I gently pull it out and she sticks it right back in. This goes for the entire nursing session. </p> <p>What do I do about this? If she nurses while sucking her thumb too, will that affect my supply or anything, or just make a mess?</p> <p>She is not cooperating with me removing it. </p>
