Lily was 3 months old when she found hers but she's never been a thumb sucker just does it now and then. ]]> Fri, 20 May 2011 16:21:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1330446&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1330446 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1330212&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1330212 Author: thetravelbugtribe

DD started when she started teething, but she is more of a thumb chewer than thumb sucker. She seems to prefer sucking/chewing softer things when her teeth/gums are sore, fingers (hers and ours - ouch now she has some teeth!), cloth, soft toys, the trim from her foam rubber mat...

I wonder if she will stop when her teeth are better or if she is going to become a thumb sucker.]]> Fri, 20 May 2011 10:54:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1330212&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1330212 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1329582&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1329582 Author: luvmylittlies

Really early. Maybe 6 or 8 weeks old? She swapped left and right for a while (I think she was just going for whatever was near her face) then settled on one side. Originally I didn't want her to (even although it looks so cute) so kept offering a dummy but she outright refused every type of dummy and persisted with her thumb. I think possibly some are just natural thumb suckers and others aren't.]]> Thu, 19 May 2011 12:34:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1329582&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1329582 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1329050&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1329050 Author: Nothing

DD was about 2/3 months old when she found hers. She alternated for a week or so to see which she liked then stuck with her right. Still does it now, but only to go to sleep or when having cuddles with her Rabbi]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 16:47:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1329050&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1329050 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1329042&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1329042 Author: AuntieSarah

Cool, hopefully not too long then! He won't take a dummy but I'd prefer he had his thumb anyway, it's always there when he wants it! ]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 16:28:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1329042&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1329042 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1329005&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1329005 Author: Chickoin

I have a thumb sucker, however, after weaning from the dummy at 5 months she found her thumb 3 months later.
So I'm no help ]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 14:31:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1328935&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1328935 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1328932&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1328932 Author: EmDee

I've got 2 thumb suckers, it's so cute! Hmmm I can't remember exactly when they were able to get their thumbs in their mouths, but it wasn't long. I'd say within a few weeks he should have it mastered ]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 14:29:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1328932&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1328932 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1328813&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1328813 Author: AuntieSarah

What age have little thumb suckers found their thumbs?

My ds is 4 weeks and loves sucking his thumb if I put it in his mouth, however isn't coordinated enough to get it there himself. When can I expect him to manage it? ]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 12:36:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39227&PID=1328813&title=thumb-sucking-when-does-it-start#1328813
