The first two started out with pacifiers (that the hospital stuck in their mouths to stimulate the sucking response), and when I took them away they started sucking their thumbs. One of my twin girls started sucking her thumb at TWO WEEKS and the other started at 11 months of age; they just turned 3 and are still sucking their thumbs, mostly when they are tired.<br /><br />There's no reason for sharing this. I just like to jump in the conversation and add nothing. But if you figure out how to break their habit, you better write a post with pictures, graphs, and a patented technique.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11117084634845147874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-57225752258017500502009-07-14T19:28:55.172-06:002009-07-14T19:28:55.172-06:00Why does everyone keep telling me horror stories a...Why does everyone keep telling me horror stories about people who sucked their thumbs until they were 13??

Her pallete was so messed up now that she is 13 she is going through very painful dental work to correct all of her problems. Hopefully your girls will quit soon. We are in the process of breaking the binky habit. One more week and they are going away for good!Roman and Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801140013984762684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-16714492006968600982009-07-14T15:51:53.575-06:002009-07-14T15:51:53.575-06:00I thought maybe when they started preschool they w...I thought maybe when they started preschool they would stop, since most kids don't openly suck their thumbs.

I think they tried just about everything to get her to stop before then, I'm not sure what worked in the end other than maybe growing up?<br /><br />Good luck...MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-22392416892816278412009-07-14T12:49:11.388-06:002009-07-14T12:49:11.388-06:00Visiting from MoM, thanks for the comment on my in...Visiting from MoM, thanks for the comment on my interview.

She proceeded to suck her thumb for another 3 years!Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042551936789254047noreply@blogger.com
