I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter who sucks her thumb. I know that if I can get her to stop now, before her adult teeth come in, that the damage she has already done can be reversed/stopped. I've tried the yucky stuff, I've tried bandaids at bed time. I showed her pictures of "monster teeth" that you get when you suck your thumb. Those worked for a few days at most. One night I heard her sucking her thumb WITH the bandaid on! How can I get her to stop before the damage is permanant?
I looked into buying a Thumb Guard for my daughter but it is so expensive. I found instructions online to make my own. I'm pretty sure that someone on this site posted the address. I think I will try Sheila's advice first though. Good luck, I understand your frustration.
I have your answer!!! I recently bought this product to get my daughter to stop nursing. Its called STOP THE BITE and it is made by HOOF. It is actually for nailbiting, but hey it really workes. You can buy it at any walmart in the nail section where nail polish is sold. Have a great day and i back this product 100%. S.
I know from other mom's that using aloe vera gel seems to curb the sucking. Just something I have heard...Good luck!
Hi J.!!! The only thing that worked for my 4 year old daugther was the Thumb Guard, it took just 2 weeks before she quit sucking her thumb. I hope this can help you as well.
Bye!!!
