This is not something I necessarily want to do, I am just at my wits end with it and can't work out a solution! My DS has a floppy rabbit / comfort blanket thing that he takes to bed & when he cuddles it he sucks his thumb. He is only 4.5 & I am not worried about this in itself or the thumbsucking as he will grow out of it & they are only milk teeth. my problem is that when he does it he has got into the habit of sticking his fingers up his nose & we are being woken a lot by bad nose bleeds. we have trimmed finger nails right back, talked to him about it, he gets upset by them, doesn't want the nosebleed but it is such a habit. any advice would be great. just not sure what to do, don't necessarily want to take the toy away but the only way I can think of to stop the nose bleeds is to stop the thumbsucking and it is all linked! Anyone out there able to help?! thanks.
