So, Chase is a thumbsucker. But that problem I will save for another day. It's Isabella I need advice for. After 1 & 1/2 years, she has now decided to copy her big brother and start sucking her thumb. She has been fine until now & I really don't want her to make a habit out of it, even if it is so darn cute. So far, I haven't told her "no" so that it wouldn't become an issue, because if I do make it a big deal, it might just make her want to the opposite. She's stubborn that way. I'm not sure if it's a phase or a budding habit. And advice??

umm...better start weaning them now before they have buck-teeth like I did until my parents forked out their life savings on a long list of teeth and jaw straighteners! I should dig out my old pictures of my 8-yr-old face, and that will be motivation enough to take any measure to stop the thumb-sucking!
Don't they have like those creams or something for that...you rub it on their finger and it tastes bad and after awhile they just don't do it any more....I don't know but logan has a pacifier issue and he doesn't like mustard so I just put a little on it when he is whining for it and then he doesn't want it anymore...I'm so bad he he:)
