Dummy vs Thumb

I dont have anything against people giving dummies to their kids but personally i dont like them.
Whats everyone elses opinions

Re: Dummy vs Thumb
My son had a dummy, and my daughter has one for now.
I gave them dummies as personally, I didn't want them sucking their thumb/fingers... my sister in law still sucks her thumb at 30... it is a case of each to their own, but I think taking away a dummy is much easier than persuading them to stop sucking a thumb...
Just my opinion!

Re: Dummy vs Thumb
I prefer dummy, as like pp said, its easier to wean them off of. Evie has a dummy at the moment, but is starting to find her thumb, and sometimes spits the dummy out in favour of her thumb, lol. x

Re: Dummy vs Thumb
both me a dp were thumb suckers! i think thats why we prefer it. Bethany is almost 4 and still sucks her thumb but she only does it when she is really tired or she has hurt herself and needs comforting. so rarely sucks it during the day.

I have given Rhys a dummy as wanted to be able to take it away but he has other ideas and is actively looking for his thumb!x

Re: Dummy vs Thumb
i think it maybe instinct to go for the thumb as ive heard of a lot of babies choosing it over a dummy.
Re: Dummy vs Thumb
my Eva is a fist chomper.... she never does seem to be able to stick just the thumb in her mouth, she does use a dummy when she is tired, and tends to spit it out once she is settled and just about to go to sleep. my oldest had a dummy and by the age of 2 it was just for bed times only and she knew this, and by time she was 3 it had been totally phased out and she never missed it once. :)so will probably look to do the same for Eva
