ExpertNiharika PandeyPediatric Dentist4 years agoA. Hi
you can apply some distasteful medicine over the thumb so that your kid doesn't put his thumb in oral cavity because of the bad taste..
kids tend to put their fingers or thumb to suck when they feel hungry so feed your child properly

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. Offer Plenty of Praise
Rather than continuously pointing out that they are sucking their thumb and drawing attention to the behavior, make a point to reinforce and praise them when they are not sucking their thumb.
