Finally We Have Beat The Thumb Sucking!

It’s been 4 years now that we have been trying to help our daughter to stop sucking her thumb. We had tried every possible tactic to try to get to to stop. But everything failed. A friend of mine at my mother’s group suggested that we try the Thumbguard. She said she had used it with her son and that he had stoppped sucking his thumb within 3 weeks! I was so excited about this news, so we went out to get this thumb sucking device. We fitted it to our daughter’s hand and although she initially protested, she soon got used to the idea. Two weeks later we trialled taking it off and our daughter did not seem interested in sucking any more. It has now been two months since that day and she had never put her thumb in her mouth again!
