@lovinam,

I didn't find it in the market.

I have not been able to post since yesterday.

My 11weeks old baby discovered his thumb last week and started sucking it aggressively,. He used to be cry cry that I have to carry him while doing house chore but since last week that he started sucking his thumb, his cry has reduced.

Some people told me to leave him and others said I should stop him. My Mil said I should use plaster or sucker. So I used the plaster on Friday. He cried throughout the night, he even woke up 3 am and refused to sleep.
So I gave him sucker yesterday but I don't know how safe it is.

Will the sucker stop him or should I plaster his hand.?

Pls mamas, what should I do to stop him? .

Try big supermarkets for the product.

Babies suck to soothe themselves and also to settle and fall asleep. If it's not the thumb it will be your boobs or the pacifier (sucker).

I will say go for the pacifier since he takes it and try to plaster his hands, cuz when he is older like two you can take the pacifier away and let him deal but you can't take his thumb away, therefore it will be very hard to get him to stop

Better to prevent/control b4 they are able to get more hand coordination. My boy does it when he's feeling sleepy or bored; we've tried hand-mitten,tapes, handkerchief but, nay, he'll remove it (no matter how tightly tied/knotted). So we either just let him, keep him busy or secure his hand & let him cry a river (which I just can't stand for long). He stops sucking sometimes when shown disapproval, but not all d time, and he does stop once he's asleep. 15mth old now.

@lovinam, so wht do I do to stop d tongue sucking.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by lovinam: 6:26am On Feb 03, 2015
My dear I tried to stop my son but no way. I even bought different types of pacifier/sucker yet to now. I just let him suck o. My friend stopped her son and the boy switched to tongue sucking( one side sucking) I feel for her sha. Tongue sucking can make someone absent minded. My son sucks when he is bored too.

@lovinam, so wht do I do to stop d tongue sucking. She does dat only in her sleep. But for active moments in d day its thumb, evn when breastfeeding wil stil find a way to put thumb in mouth.
How do I stop d tongue sucking in d sleep pls?
My dear to tell you the truth I don't know. Maybe you should let her be since she only sucks while sleeping.

A lot of babies don't react to Nan. I think you should stick to Nan for now,maybe when baby grows a lil older you can switch. She is too tender for u to start experimenting.

Except Nan vontains DHA, AHA/AA and a Probiotic formulation, I would recommend Enfamil or Aptamil. If your baby eats well, Aptamil is okay...but if he/she is a light eater, get Enfamil as it is richer.
