Thumb sucking and how to stop it!
Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. Following on from my blog about helping your little one to give up their dummy we had lots of questions about how to stop thumb sucking and so we decided to write a blog on this topic as well!
According to the British Orthodontic Society, one in every eight children in the UK (aged 7 to 11) has a thumb sucking habit. Babies have a natural sucking reflex and thumb sucking can start very early on after birth and can sometimes even be seen in the womb!
