Mine is 3.5 and sucking hands. I think she's teething

Tbf mine would probably do that if we let her. She sucks her thumb whenever she has her favoured cuddly toy so we’re pretty strict about it living in her bed. If it comes downstairs we make a point of taking it back up together and tucking him up in bed.

Yep, my DD tends to have her fingers in her mouth if uncertain about a situation, and when at home most of the time has her comforter... she'd take it everywhere if we let her, but we restrict it to in the house, bed or car.

My 4 year old still carries his favourite teddy everywhere!

My DD is almost 3 and does this, especially when tired or upset. I think it's fine and I don't restrict her at all, I'm sure she'll grow out of it when she's ready.

Mine carried her comforter around until she was about 7! (Not to schools obviously).
