My 4-yr-old has been sucking his right thumb (which, by the way, is significantly smaller than the left thumb that he leaves alone. Shrinkage?!) and pulls some very Anton moves- pointing with his index while the thumb is still in the mouth, resisting putting his clothes on, because the right hand is "busy", etc... Don't let anyone stress you about how/when he should quite. I've met a lot of very normal (and nice toothed) adults who admit to thumb-sucking well into elementry school! Here's to more thumb-suckers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-9847153603943665702014-08-25T10:52:20.618-04:002014-08-25T10:52:20.618-04:00happy babies suck their thumb.

Right now I am over the moon that he can soothe himself so well. Other mamas like to say how much easier it is to take away the pacifier. So likely I will change my story one day. But as number three with two older sisters, I like not spending energy to chase dropped pacifiers. <br /><br />The comments about the photos are right on.

Infants and toddlers have a high need to suck for soothing, so if they're weaned early or are not breastfed at all they'll require a pacifier of some kind. It's a good thing for them to suck, as some theorists say infants and toddlers who are not given the opportunity to suck will develop addictions later in life. Enjoy your little thumb, Anton! :)Obsessively Organichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732754973955679394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-73447543218524028622014-08-22T09:57:28.580-04:002014-08-22T09:57:28.580-04:00aww, Carroll Park.

I still furtively sucked it at night for another few months before quitting completely. (And as much as I coveted my friends' retainers I never needed even a single visit an orthodontist). I not so secretly wanted my daughter to be a thumb sucker, because I still remember how soothing and comforting it was and who wouldn't want that, but she never showed any interest.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688492426904437991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-26169198640837300182014-08-21T22:10:44.516-04:002014-08-21T22:10:44.516-04:00A weird experience?
