Joey has been sucking his thumb since he was 3 month old. This spring I started try new way to get him to stop. I have tried the nasty tasting stuff you paint on you child's thumb, simply telling him no and taking the thumb out of his mouth and telling him big boys do not suck their thumbs. None of these thing work finally I took my friends Megan's advice and painted my son's finger nail bright red. So far so good. He hates it and he had tried washing his hands and grabbing baby wipes to try to get it off. He keep following me around telling me "it's not fair" and "you're mean mommy". Even though this make me feel horrible it is best for him his thumb is already pushing his teeth out. It is a little pathetic but a little funny he is really upset.

Ah! Poor Baby! But I agree, you don't want him to ruin the shape of his mouth. How did you get him to keep his thumb still enough for the polish to dry?
