is your baby still thumbsucking?

Tweet

Pediatricians say thumb sucking is a normal activity of babies. My baby is no exception to that. My problem is that the thumb of my baby is now injured due to frequent thumb sucking. Despite that her teeth sliced a small portion of her thumb, she still continues to do sucking. I have tried to put back her mittens in order to stop her thumb sucking but it proved useless because she knows now how to remove it. some moms tell me to rub ginger on her thumb so she will stop sucking but i'm having second thoughts of doing it. Can you advice me on what to do about it so that my baby will stop thumb sucking?
