My DD has never sucked her thumb / fingers and never had a dummy. This week she has started sucking her thumb or finger - and it seems to be all the time. She does it so much she is getting a sore thumb / finger!
I have 4 week old twins, so I exceot that their will be some behavioural changes / difficulties with DD, but really not sure where this sucking comes from as the boys aren't sucking fingers/thumbs and dont have dummies.
She goes to nursery three days a week and they have commented on this change in behaviour and have put it down to copying her 'best friend' at nursery who does such her thumb.
Anyone else experienced a child starting this behaviour so late on? Should I try and stop it / ignore it?? It seems such a shame for her to develop this habit after over two years of not (IYSWIM!).
