As a dental assistant use an ortho pacifier … it’s specially designed to avoid issues with the pallet at this point it’s to late to stop him using the thumb because he has found comfort in it

I needed 10+ years of orthodontic work to correct damage caused by thumb sucking as a kid 😬

You can throw away a pacifier, you can’t throw away a thumb. I’d try a paci if you can

One of the hardest habits to break. Do it now before it goes any farther.

My girls found their thumbs on their own and stopped on their own. In the grand scheme of things, who cares. What’s the problem?

honestly shocked at these comments, thumb sucking is a way of self soothing a he’s so content clearly! he’s so so little. So long as he’s not still sucking his thumb by about 3 years of age, his teeth shouldn’t be affected at all because his baby teeth will shift back on their own

Your baby is learning to self soothe. This is normal. This is no different than have a pacifier in their mouth.

Hand mittens while he’s still young so he forgets about it and stops

I gave my babies pacifier specifically, so they would not suck their thumb. You can take away a pacifier, you can never take away a thumb.

Give him the pacifier instead. Easy to break him later.

When he’s 3 and won’t stop sucking his smelly fingers, dad will wish he never taught this.

You can take away a dummy, you can’t take away a thumb. Thumbs are a bad idea.
