Re: [ozmidwifery] thumb or dummy!?

Each to their own.  If this is the worst habit she picks up - they will be 
lucky parents!!  Having declared quite loudly that no child of mine would 
ever go down the street or even worse have photos taken with a dummy in - my 
second son has defeated me at the moment.  I think it is a comfort thing 
especially with new baby as well in the house.  I just go with the flow at 
the moment, no need to get stressed.

Dear List(s)!

Just looking for a little bit of general advice on an old debate!
I have a six month old baby cousin [very cute!] she has taken to sucking 
her thumb as she is starting to get some toothy pegs! and her mum is not in 
favour of giving her a dummy. I was wondering what opinions are on this? I 
would think that sucking thumbs could effect tooth development and the 
direction/position in which they grow, as well as forming a hard to kick 
habbit in todlers, but have also heard interesting points against dummies.

Any thoughts!?

Thanks in advance!
Jessica.
