Hi all! We're new to all of this! We have a nearly 9 month old baby girl, who rejected a dummy and prefers her left thumb. She usually only puts it in when she's tired or hungry, so at the moment it's quite a useful tool.
At what point do we discourage her from sucking on her thumb, and any ideas as to how to do so.
Also, she is now going through a stage where she 'kicks up' at any nap time. She squirms and carries on to the point that we just have to walk out of the room until she settles down enough to rewrap her, and seems to now want to sleep on her tummy, which we aren't too comfortable with. Any ideas on tactics to overcome any of these problems will be greatly appreciated! She has slept all night from 6 weeks, so we know how lucky we are, and up until now has always been really good at going for her naps and big sleep, so it's a bit of a mystery to us! Thanks guys!
