| I don't know why she is worse, but you can try taping a mitten over her hand, that might help. thats whats gonna happen to my 3 year old if she doesn't learn to keep her finger out of her nose. |

Good luck. My daughter started sucking her thumb from the time she was four months old. Like yours, she pretty much only did at naps and bedtime. Then, starting in K, she was doing it all the time. She even tries to talk with her thumb in her mouth. I tried putting yucky tasting stuff on her thumb, she just sucked it off. So now my rule is, only sucking when sleeping. If I see her doing it, I tell her to stop. It's a horrible habit to break. And I'm probably not mean enough about it  |
