Although not using a soother does not mean that she does not suck her thumb. In many cases it is the substitute. And they always have it at hand! 👼🏼
It makes sense, they are infants and sucking not only feeds them, but also gives them security and calms them down. 🤱
Both dummies and thumb sucking are not necessarily harmful to your baby. Like everything else in life, without overdoing it, it doesn't have to have side effects. 😅
Beyond the first year of life, it is advisable not to use either. Their mouth is forming and the first teeth have appeared. They no longer need sucking to eat, and it only serves as a comfort. 👶🏻
The ideal is to find alternatives, such as a cuddly toy, cuddling or singing a song softly when he gets nervous and puts his hand to his mouth. 🤗
But don't worry, every case is different. If you have any doubts, the best thing to do is to come to our centre and rest assured that one of our specialists will evaluate your child's case and give you specific advice in your case. ✅
