I have mom's permission to post. Her baby is three and a half months old 
exclusively breastfed and gaining well. About a week ago the baby started to 
suck her thumb.  Mom is worried about this and would like to stop baby from 
sucking her thumb.  She has tried, for one day, nursing her whenever she 
begins to put her thumb in her mouth. The mom feels that his in not working 
because of the frequency that baby has thumb in her mouth.

Does anyone have any advice that I can pass on to this mom to help baby stop 
sucking her thumb.

Thank you!
Malka Eitan
