"It is neither rare nor unexpected for a child under the age of 6-7
years to take up thumb sucking once they have been weaned from the
breast, even if they were nursed for 3-4-5 years."

This is very reassuring.  My daughter nursed until she was 4, now she is
7 and *still* sucks her thumb as she settles down to sleep.  As an
infant, she would try to suck her thumb while nursing!
