Which is of a lesser evil? thumb sucking or sucking on pacificer? my son (3mths old) has a tendency to suck his thumbs.. so whenever he does so, I will let him suck on the pacificer instead..

thumb sucking is just a short phase while they explore, just pull his hand off gently and tell him 'no' and they'll learn. all my 3 kids were never offered the pacifier and they are perfectly fine
