Noisy Thumbsucking

Are you breastfeeding? Is your daughter still in your room because you are feeding her in the middle of the night? At 3 months old, it's perfectly safe to put her crib in her own room and have a baby monitor. I don't think you would hear it as much over the monitor as you would right next to your bed. I know it's a farther walk to feed her if she is still getting up for that, but it might be worth it for you to get some sleep. We moved my daughter to her own room at 1 month old (per her doctor's suggestion) and it helped a lot because my husband and my daughter both snored and I NEVER got any sleep. At least I can kick my hubby and make him roll over. ;-)

Best of luck to you. Moving them to their own room is hard, but I think it's the only way you're not going to hear her. I don't think you can stop her from sucking her thumb.

My son found his thumb about the same time that your daughter has found hers. In some ways it was a God send because it is a soothing tool, but others it made me wonder how we are going to break him of it later. She may be at that age to where when you swaddle her she wants her arms out. My son only wanted his arms tucked inside for like the first couple of months, but when he found his thumb if I dared tuck his arms in, my goodness, I got an earful! :) I personally think that you should go ahead and move her into her own room now before she knows any different because that's where you are going to want her to sleep the older she gets. You aren't going to want her in ya'lls room when she gets older. The uninterrupted sleep that you will get with her in her own room will well be worth it even if you have to walk to her room to feed her, just use a baby monitor if she's across the house from your room. If she's fairly close to your room where you can hear her cries when she wakes, don't bother with the monitor you will hear her anyway. I wouldn't even try to break her of the thumbsucking, it will be a great thing because she has something with her the whole night so if she wakes up during the night, then she can put that in her mouth and fall back asleep and you can have some much needed sleep. Good luck, it does get SO much better. You will look back at this time and value it, as funny as that sounds.

Coming from a mom of two thumbsuckers, there is no way to stop them! Moving her to her own room is probably the best idea. Both of my girls were in there own room by around 6-8 weeks. Move her before she notices that mom is not in the same room, or its going to be much harder later. Good Luck

I was glad when my thumb sucker used the paci instead! If the pacifier doesn't work short of sewing her sleeves shut I don't know what you could do. I did try some first aid tape but I was afraid that he would choke on it. But I would suggest moving her to a place where all could get a good night sleep.
