My ds2 is 4 1/2 months and has just started sucking his thumb. He was a very sucky newborn and refused a dummy (my ds1 never had one so dont have much experience with them). Also because ds2 is breastfed I dont think he likes rubber in his mouth.
Anyways he has discovered his thumb which doesnt bother me too much but I have lost count of the amount of people this weekend who have told me I should stop him from sucking his thumb or give him a dummy instead
If i hear the line "you can get rid of a dummy but you cant get rid of a thumb" one more time i will scream!
