Hi,
My little boy turned 6 months last week and from a pretty young age, he started thumb sucking.
Whilst I wasn't entirely sure I wanted it to happen, getting him to sleep was a dream as he'd pop his thumb in and be happily rocked to sleep. And would often suck his thumb to nod back off when he stirred in the night (just one feeding at 4am).
BUT this past week he's clawed at my face, pushed away, screamed anything he can do to tell me he wants boob to sleep. He won't even put his thumb in for a moment.
All of a sudden he's waking every hour or two at night.
Has anyone any experience with this? Is it a phase or a start or something terrible??
Any advice really, really appreciated!
