Dd has always since about 3/4months sucked the index and second fingers of her left hand
She does it when tired/watching telly/going to sleep
Her baby front teeth are wobbly
Any ideas on how to stop her?

Yucky tasting nail polish! I sucked my fingers until I was seven, my mum asked my school permission to put the special nail polish on me to help me stop and that was that!

I don’t know what it’s called and it was many years ago but I’m sure there’s something similar around now!
