My baby is 14 months old and he still suck his fingers(the little finger and the ring finger). When he started teething I become more worried about it because he got cut on his fingers where he often suck and it take time to heal for that wound. I think the teeth is sharp that's why he got cut on it. I tried putting glove on his hand so he can't suck and forget soon, before it works when he was 12 mos. but when I stop putting glove he turn again as a sucky finger baby. Besides from the glove I also tried putting ginger (extract) on his finger and it didn't work. My last option this time is to put chili on his finger and I know he'll cry so that's why I'm hesitant to do it. I know the glove will not work anymore because he knows already how to remove it. There were many times I put it and when I check it the morning it's not there on his hand anymore. So regarding my last option I still have to think many times about it (referring to chili) if have to do it or not.

my teen girl was sucking her thumb when she was young. I did everything like you. Almost 2 years old but still sucking. I put chili as my last remedy.She cried too much jumping and run without direction until chili contaminated with chilli I pity her and very traumatic for her. Pls do not do to your child. I consulted a doctor. He said thumb sucking is a sign of insecurity. I cared my baby so much, not even one fly can't close to her. Just do a passive way
ReplyDeleteFor my second child , I put vicks vapo rub because thumb was already having callus so I put a little vicks , and it is milder and he himself refused the taste
