Thumb Sucking
My girl is 3.5YO and has a habit of sucking her thumb to sleep. Its gotten to the point where there is a callus on the spot where she sucks her thumb and I will like to stop this habit. Can any mummy advise where i can get some form of bitter spray to discourage her or any other method to stop thumb sucking?
Hi mummy, you may first want to try talking to her about why is thumb sucking bad. Since she is 3.5yo, she's at the age whereby she might understand to a large extend and would try to make a conscious effort to stop. For example, show her the videos/pictures of germs in their nails/finger. Tell her how she is no longer a baby, or explain how she might not be able to speak properly etc... Motivate and encourage her whenever she attempts to not suck her finger...like a reward system - stickers. Give her a soft toy to cuddle to sleep to keep her hands/fingers busy. Lastly, final attempt, you may try plastic finger guard (i.e leading brands like tguard).
