When my son was in preschool, he and a little girl were, I think, the only 3 1/2 year olds still nursing. The mother of the little girl told me that her daughter told her: "Did you know that some children nurse on their thumbs? I tried it, but it's yucky!" My son, BTW, discovered his thumb at two months, sucked it intensely despite being nursed on demand, and, without any intervention, stopped thumbsucking around 7 months.
