None of my girls have ever been thumb suckers. But dh was and very much still is. He quite often sucks his thumb in front of the girls.
About a week ago my dd3 who was 2 in July started sucking her thumb. Just a bit at first and would babble about daddy doing it.
I then stopped breast feeding her about thursday and since then she has been doing it a lot more.
breast feeding was very much a comfort thing for her, so i'm wandering if she is using her thumb to replace this.
Or is this just copied behaviour from daddy. should i be discouraging this or will she get bored of it?
Has anyone elses child started thumb sucking this late and did it turn into a habit?
Thanx
