How i dealt with my babies thumb sucking

Posted: Jul 05, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

My doctor advised us to ignore my daughter  Meira's  thumb sucking habit  as it will go off on its own.But the stories surrounding the thumb got to me..girls growing to be teenagers and still sucking thumb.......!!

So i thought "what the doctor knows anyways.Does he even have children? who knows?"

Solution  1 :I put a bitter medicine on her thumb.she slowly put her thumb in her mouth and made the most weirdest face ever.She cried  bu bu(it means she is hurt or wounded)

For 2 whole days she was free from the habit and i felt the happiness of winning a race.But when i saw her again even with  that bitter medicine..i felt like the finishing line of my race is still far far away...sob!

Solution 2 So i made the most menacing face ever and shouted at her...it frightened her a little bit and after some time i realized my daughter is not with me and the house is so quiet.My darling daughter was hiding behind the sofa and sucking her thumb.Later my menacing face seemed normal for her!

Solution 3: I started sucking my thumb and totally ignored her.Meira comes and tries to remove my thumb!

When i refused she gives me the TV remote to divert my mind! Gosh this children are born with super brains!

She then kept doing all sorts of crazy things to remove my thumb . She sat on me..she tried to bite me..tried to cry etc etc.She called me to play with her toys!. So i made a deal with her..i will not do it if you dont. She dint seem to agree.She put my thumb in my mouth and encourage me to follow her habit!She even  said  "nice"nice"

Probably one day she will get over this habit...and when that day comes..i will definitely be one proud mother.
