Daughter's Finger Sucking Has Become a Real Problem
My 2-year-old daughter has been sucking her third and fourth finger (middle and ring) on her left hand since she was just a few months old. She used a pacifier for a short time before that, but gave it up in favor of these fingers. I have been concerned about her teeth, but the dentist and pediatrician both said let her do it until she's three, so I was just letting her do it until it started becoming a health issue. First of all, she catches EVERYTHING b/c she touches stuff and then puts her fingers in her mouth. I'm sure this contributes...
