Omexonomy: Dont rub anything in the hand or play any foul play with the finnger. What the child is experiencing is due genetic disorder that disturb some children which will be over by the age of 6 or 7. Thumb sucking by babies and toddlers- a genetic disorder? Nawa o!what won't I read on nairaland. It's as natural as anything- not a disorder o! If it continues till adulthood, it could be attributed to some sort of habit induced disorder-- yet ,not in all cases. Op,your son would outgrow it,they usually do- if you are desperate thou, you could adopt the bitter leaf stuff. 1 Like |

I remember sucking my finger till primary 4 but my teacher flogged it out of me, i saw her as wicked then but am grateful to her now, anytime you see him sucking his hand you can just remove it and hit him a little with time he'll outgrow it. |

Babe dummy NO; will make the babe get used to sucky sucky Alomo bitter will affect the babe negatively. I advice you to use surgical blade to cut that finger small and cover it with cotton wool and plaster. Talking from Experience, once a sucking machine.

All these opinions arre wicked and seems like child abuse.Pepper,alomo bitter etc ..is dis an animal or a human?Wch of u can stand these..He will stop it @his own tym n not forcefully cos I also sucked my thumb as a child bt I stopped @my own tym...All efforts by my parents proved abortive cos it was somtin I did unconciously...my advice:leave him to it n one day he wud stop it..they always stop sucking some day! |

gerona: I have a baby boy who is 3yrs and sucks his finger. All efforts to stop him has failed. I need help because it is his right finger, I am afraid it may affect his desire to write, his speech and deform the finger and teeth. Put bitter leaf on his thumb. |

Just make sure his hands are always clean and try the bitter leaf stuff; rub it before he wakes up. He has to, with a lot of bacteria/viruses flying around these days, it's scary. |

I sucked mine till age 14 or so (SS2). Although when I grew older I sucked in secret. it's not a good thing. It spoilt my teeth a bit...Although im a fine boy o..lol..but I hardly smile now because my dentition is bad from sucking. Please stop him now...don't wait for him to stop on his own. when I was younger they rubbed bitter leaf and all that..I would just lick my hand clean and spit it out. You can try deceiving him that he has an injury there. take him to the clinic and let them bandage his thumb well. Leave it for about 1month and he will be okay. 2 Likes |

denkyw:Are you kidding me? What if the baby rubs her eyes with her hand? @Topic, it's too late to make proper corrections now. I guess you should let the baby know it's a bad habbit with negative implications. |

MEILYN: You refer to someones baby as IT? Goshwhat is the pronoun form of *baby**?who tot u grammar in i sch.lol.i got dis from wiki..u may go chek to confirm if u so wish... Usage The word and term 'it' can be used for either a subject or an object in a sentence and can describe any physical or psychological subject and / or object' and its genitive form its have been used to refer to human babies and animals , although with the passage of time this usage has come to be considered too impersonal in the case of babies, as it may be thought to demean a conscious being to the status of a mere object. This use of "it" is also criticized when used it as a rhetorical device to dehumanize their enemies, implying that they were little more than non-human animals. The word remains in common use however, and its use increases with the degree to which the speaker views an object of speech as impersonal. For example, someone else's dog is often referred to as "it", especially if the dog isn't known by the speaker, or if the dog's gender is unknown. A person would rarely say "it" when referring to his/her own cat or dog. Examples: The baby had its first apple. They are taking their dog to the vet, as they said it looked ill. |

I have a friend who sucked his index and middle finger till around SS2, and frankly his speech is with a lisp, cant pronounce " s" well. i think you should deliberately stop him, i believe the bitter leaf thing cld worj, maybe when he is on longterm holiday, persistently rub the leaf. Its genetic. Me, i used to leave my mouth open, my mum had my tim, out of nowhere, she will appear and flick my lips. Lol. Conciously stop him, he is 3 already 1 Like |

kulyie: I know this person is a man.it is only a man that can type suchyou think I am a woman before abiii kulyieeee so you think I am not humanely abi? I just proffered a solution to a problem which several solutions were listed. Putting bitter leaf, aporo ijebu aka gbogbonise will not work at this stage if any of my child dear to suck their thumb, that's what I will do. You know kids that suck their thumbs act like didirin, they are always dull so I wouldn't want that. Some people say it is genetically transmitted which I might want to believe. So I don't know if my post triggered the emotional instint of mothers like you?? All I want to say is I never meant to let women know about this cuz if my child dear to suck, I would not even tell the mother before I carry out my plan |
