[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Research has shown that oral self comfort, whether by pacifier, finger or thumb sucking, is actually a good thing. It is normal. It is necessary. It begins in the womb. It helps reduce stress and tension and improves focus and concentration. It is a natural way to self-regulate. https://developlearngrow.com/oral-sensory-activities/ It almost never has negative implications before age 4 (where dental issues may start in some). Dentists may disagree, but do you hope for braces (which most will need anyway) or a psychiatrist and anti-anxiety meds? Even adults use oral means of self soothing, but in more subtle ways.[/quote] Op here as she's keeping me awake tonight... I'm still reading these, this is really interesting thank you for sharing. We can look at alternatives when we remove it to try and make it less stressful [/quote]
