Cait refuses the binkie most of the time, but wants it in the car now, hasn't figured out the thumb in the car. She's so cute when she sucks her thumb! Well said mom :) Sometimes our baby decides for us on this issue! Cait refuses the binkie most of the time, but wants it in the car now, hasn’t figured out the thumb in the car. She’s so cute when she sucks her thumb!

I had it easier than most, I was the oldest girl with 9 younger siblings, so I saw a lot of stuff growing up, of course, none of my siblings had pacifiers, and several sucked their thumbs. Three of my kids had pacifiers, and Jen was my only thumbsucker, none of them suffered from "nipple confusion"! Sometimes "experts" cause problems by expressing what is really only their opinion! This is your baby, if you love it, as I know you will, just do what you feel is right, for this particular baby, and everything will be all right!! I promise you!! :) Sarah, First time moms get so much input, it can become confusing!!

(the dentist mentioned one reason I needed braces was because of my thumb sucking) So after reading about pacifiers, both here and elsewhere, I had registered for pacifiers and trying to convince the baby to soothe with pacifiers. But then this week I took a breastfeeding class and they mentioned that pacifiers can cause problems with breastfeeding! nipple confusion and all that. So I am no longer so sure.

My first sucked his thumb from about 3 months until 18 months. One day he just stuck his thumb in his mouth, and cried instantly. I am really not sure what happened (bit himself, teething) but he quit immediately. My first daughter found her thumb at 2 weeks, she was adorable, and now at 6 1/2 shows no signs of stopping. Her younger sister used a bink occasionally, but one day watching her sister intently decided to try it out, and began awkwardly sucking her thumb. Now 3 years later...she's a thumb addict. We have tried having them sleep with socks on their hands, fingers dipped in apple cider vinegar, promises of rewards...I really need to get thumbguards made....but at night they unconciously pop them back in. And their teeth are starting to look like thumbsuckers teeth! So when Noah was around 9 months I noticed him observing his sisters and practicing the thumb thing (awkwardly also) and decided I was not going to have 3 thumbsuckers and gave him a binkie. He does not always have it in and I do not rush to replace it if it falls out, and when he throws it I just stick it in the drawer. So I guess we'll see what happens. How old were you when you quit Jenni? (This is not advice…just what we are dealing with.)
