DD1 started about 2 months ago, can't think of a reason why. She never bothered much as a baby with finger sucking or really went through that phase of putting everything in her mouth. Stopped dummy at 4 months and she didn't ever compensate with fingers/thumb.
Is it an anxiety thing ? She started nursery (unhappily) a month ago, but the finger sucking started before that. I am also quite pg and wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that I am bit less active, can't carry her as much etc. Have been super attentive and reassuring to compensate, but I am not sure she really understands the whole baby thing anyway.
I don't want to make a big deal of it, but she gets everything soaking wet and sometimes even talks with her fingers in her mouth. The times I have told her to take her fingers out and explained it's a bit yucky have resulted in major meltdowns.
Any ideas ?
