Thumbsucking

[sweetestCORN]

Mga sis my 5 month old daughter developed this habit. Is it bad? True ba na lalaki ang thumb nila at hanggang pagtanda madadala nila yan? I tried to stop her pero gumagawa sya ng paraan para makapag thumbsuck. Try ko cover ng dobleng mittens susme in less than 5 mins parang nilublob sa tubig ang mittens.

Si Dev ngayon bihira na magthumbsuck, yun nga lang ginagawa nyang teether yung daliri nya. Nangangati na siguro gums, pag binibigyan ko teether nanggigigil and napufrustrate. Hayaan ko nalang muna sya for now

Hi sis. Yung daughter ko ganyan siya nung baby. Hinayaan ko lang, pero parang nagkabukol yung thumb niya, kalyo yata!? Tumigil siya sa pag-thumb suck nung 2 years old na siya, nawala na rin yung bukol sa thumb niya.

sis it's natural for a 5 month old to suck on her thumb. Don't worry about it and don't stop it rin. If it really bothers you, you can try a pacifier. Babies at that age are exploring and and find comfort in sucking.

I found out that when my baby is sucking her fingers, it's a sign that she's hungry. when she cries it means she's starving.

Sis kahit right after feeding nag thumbsuck na sya e. naging habbit na talaga nya. I heard nga na kakalyohin thumb tapos mas mahirap daw wean kasi nga very handy unlike pacifier itago mo lang okay na. Nakakasira ba to ng ngipin? I tried giving her a pacifier several times pero naffrustrate lang sya di nya alam pano ilatch at makatyamba man sya nahuhulog agad. EBF kasi kami di sya sanay sa ibang nipple. Well mukhang di ko na sya mapipigilan e.

some pedia are against pacifiers. pero yung pedia ko, kung hindi daw mapacify si baby eh di use it. kami kasi ng parents ko, nireremove namin hand nya everytime we see him thmbsucking, so hindi nasanay magthumbsuck. meron akong nakitang 6 years old girl na patient din nng pedia namin na nagtathumbsuck pa.

baby boy ko imbis na thumb suck naging hand suck    tinuruan kasi ng lola niya magthumbsuck pero he's only 6weeks old kaya ayun madalas na ngayon sinusubo kamay kahit nakasuot ng mittens. sabi naman ng pedia namin na okay lang daw mag thumbsuck si baby minsan kasi yun yung way to pacify babies, okay lang din daw bigyan ng pacifier. napansin ko susubuin na ng baby boy ko hands niya kapag gutom or parang bored siya. pinagamit namin siya ng pacifier dati nakakatuwa tsup tsup siya kaso parang ako naawa sa kanya kasi baka mapagod kaka suck? sinabihan din kasi ako ng yaya ni baby nakakapangit daw sa nguso pag gamit ng pacifier.

Hello mga sis, my baby is 8 mos old now and ngthumbsuck pa din sya palgi. Ang hirap awatin iyak sya pg pinipigilan ko. [textspeak!] ng pedia nya dapat daw hanggat maaari pigilan mgthumbsuck kc hanggang paglaki daw nya madadala nya un at mhirap na sawayin.

My 5 month old son is thumb sucking also. His pedia told us to stop him but we do not want to force him.

[dhyne]

baby ko po, 2 months pa lang. buong kamay sinusubo. at grabe po maglaway..

[xadie28]

si dapz ko, nag thuthumbsuck din minsan titanggal ko kasi baha maging habit nya yun hanggang sa pag laki nya. pag umaatungal sya kapag tinatanggal ko yung thumb nya binibigyan ko na lang ng pacifier.

haha ako mga sis nagthumbsuck ako until i was about 6-7 years old
super hirap silang lahat pigilan ako [textspeak!] isa kong lola pa suggested to put something salty / sour or hot sa thumb ko para daw magtanda ako
i really can't remember how i managed to stop

although ang naging "negative effect" daw sa akin eh pumangit [textspeak!] alignment ng two upper central teeth ko (i don't know if that is true talaga) anyway ok na ang teeth ko ngayon kasi i had braces for two years before

[sweetestCORN]

Actually mga sis i wouldn't mind naman na magthumbsuck sya basta maassure ako na it won't affect her teeth e. yun lang naman iniintindi ko. Anyway, too late na din parang di ko na talaga sya maaawat hehe..

[bettyboop1322]

my son is already 9 and still thumbsucking  kaya ok na ang pacifier kay baby kasi ayaw namin magaya sa kuya nya..

[kutzy12]

Everytime my 6mos old baby tries to thumbsuck, im giving his teether instead. Nandun na attention nya...

^ sis, according to my daughters pedia it is normal for a baby to suck his/her finger. "it is there way of exploring & there is nothing to worry about the teeths because it is only a baby teeth and eventually it will all fall off and change to a permanent teeth and by that time, your baby will stop sucking his/her finger" -babies pedia

[sweetestCORN]

We went to visit out pediatrician friend/client (not my baby's pedia)  earlier, nagulat sya when she saw my baby thumbsucking. Sabi nya sa experience nya lahat ng pasyente nya na nagthumbsuck as in mahirap daw maawat. Karamihan daw nag-aaral na nagta-thumbsuck pa din. And papangit daw nguso. Pero mabait daw baby na nagtthumbsuck. Siguro true kasi lahat ng maka meet sa baby ko sinasabi mabait daw sya at parang hindi baby. Hmmmm.. I think i'm just gonna cross my fingers and keep my hopes up na di masira yung formation ng teeth nya.

[chizmosato]

MIL ko din paniniwala nya na ang baby na nagtthumb-suck mabait. Kaya tuwang tuwa sya nung nagstart magthumb suck baby ko.
May nabasa ako that thumb sucking is a milestone because it is a way that baby learns about his surroundings. It also can be that nangangati na gums nila because of the teeth that's coming out. 5 months na si baby and may nakikita na ako na may lumalabas na na white sa gums nya

yung cousin ko 13 years old na hindi pa rin nawala yung habit ng thumbsucking.  sobrang hirap awatin, lahat na ng ways pati yung paglagay ng sili sa thumb nya ginawa na hangang sa naging mahilig na sya sa maanghang, LOL!    pumangit yung teeth nya kase naging protruded yung two incisors.  yung thumb nya nagkakalyo na rin.  kaya advise ko palagi sa friends and patients ko kahit baby pa wag ipathumbsuck kase heartbreaking din naman sa mommy yung ipastop sya later in life pa.
