Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Mom's of thumb suckers....

when did your LO start sucking their thumb? My LO has started sucking her thumb in the last few days, but wondering if this is a phase since it started so late or if this is the real deal?  Thanks!

  • DD started sucking her thumb when she was about 6 months old.  She's definitely still a thumb sucker.

  • Pretty sure Sarah was sucking her thumb in utero, too.  She didn't for awhile, but around 6 months she started doing it again.  She still does.

  • She was trying from birth, though she had to wait until she had control of her hands to do it regularly. Though I guess it isn't as much of a progammed habit as I thought, because she has been successful at switching which thumb she sucked when her usual thumb was injured.
