hi, my 9 month old has always sucked ger thumb and never taken a dummy or teething ring, despite me trying a 100 times!

ds is chewing her thumb and getting bruised and cuts due to teething. I tried to put dressings/elastoplast/mittens on his thumb at night but he managed to chew them off. I regularly give her teething powders/ gels/calpol.

Does any one have any advice to help stop this? Or atleast heal her little thumb?

Have you tried teething gloves
there was ome i had that was a glove that teethers clipped Into and i had a few nuby ones.

You dont mention bonjela. My baby gets massive relief from the one in the metal tube for 5m +
(The plastic tube one is just not as good imo)
