My boy sucks his left thumb, I don't think I've seen him suck his right. He has his front two bottom teeth; and his top teeth are going to cut through any day, so he's sucking a lot more. I just noticed a welty cut on his left thumb I'm certain is from his lower teeth, and it's making me nervous. I don't know how it's going to heal, or how I'm going to keep it from getting infected or something- it spends so much time in his mouth. Is there anything I can do?
This hasn't happened to me but something similar has happened to my friend. Her daughter sucked her thumb constantly and it began to get sores on it. She tired "everything" to get her to stop. And then one day, her daughter just stopped. She thinks that her thumb finally got sore enough that she quit sucking it.
