Thumb-sucking Toddlers

[Bongoton]

Thumbsucking is a cycle that every baby goes thru. If you try to stop it, it may create problems in speech, self confidence etc. Let the child fulfill this stage and it will go away on its own. Based na sa akong nabasahan, ug experience.
My eldest, a boy, does not suck his thumb because he's used to a pacifier.. He was on a pacifier for two years and that's it. We never really had to resort to something like butangan ug halang, sili and the like. Ni undang ra cya ug iya. I observed nga di naman cya tig pacifier, so ako nalang gihipos.. wa ra sad siya nangita.
Now my 5 month old daughter is thumb/finger sucking and she doesn't like pacifiers, maybe because she's used to mommy's breast feeding and does not like to suck on silicon.. hehe.. we let her suck her thumb and fingers as long as she wants. I hope it will stop in time just like his big bro

naa koy friend pag elem. until mi ning grade 6 kay magthumb suck jd siya mu sleep. kay pag elem nako naa man jd mi'y nap time 12-1 dili jd siya maka sleep kung dili jd siya mag thumb suck. i dont know kung unsa kha ang iyang gibuhat na ana siya na wala raman daw kuno ang kadto nahabit paghabot sa high school daw kuno diya. wala naman pod mi kita - kita pod niya gud. ako lang sis, ayaw lang kha i force if dili jd siya ganahan mu stop. kay luoy man pod ang bata. better unta to gi prevent nato nimo pag 4months pa lang siya. mao man ang akong gi buhat sa akong baby, 3 months palang kha to siya dili nako siya pa thumbsuckon kay hadlok ko mapariha siya sa akong friend sa elem. find ways lang sis. always to talk to your baby na outcome kung magcgi siya ug thumbsuck.

true. very traumatic indeed! one need not do that. your child will just outgrow it. it is NORMAL till around 5 years of age so let it be.
