Thumb-sucking

How do u stop ur child from sucking his/her thumb? My girl sucks her thumb to self-soothe but she sucks so hard that a callus is forming on her thumb. Help!

Try distracting her whenever she attempts to suck her thumb. Divert her attention with a toy or a book? When it's sleeping time try giving her a giant teddy bear to hold and wrap her arms around, so she's less likely to get her thumb into the mouth.
