Thumb sucking

Any tips to stop it? My dd just turned 4 and she only sucks her thumb when she is relaxing or falling asleep but her teeth are horrible. The yucky thumb stuff did not work so now I'm looking for a thumb guard. Any recommendations?

Thumb sucking

I got a thumb guard for DS and he muscled his way out of it. I rigged it so he couldn't and then he started sucking his other thumb. When he was bored sucking that one, he figured out how to get the guard off his original thumb. He is 4. We did this when he was 3. I'm at a loss also and would love to hear other suggestions!

Re: Thumb sucking

I used sports tape and wrapped it around the whole hand.
It worked... and then DD became a nail biter.

Don't have the issue with my 2 others. Not sure it's something you can obliterate... but the sports tape was easy, cheap and worked. We had to do it for a week or two.
