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

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)
