Hi everyone! I’m looking for some guidance regarding my 2-year-old son. We’ve been out of diapers for about 2–3 months now, and I’ve been encouraging him to tell me when he needs to go. However, he still isn't vocalizing it and continues to have potty and susu in his pants. At the same time, we are struggling with thumb-sucking. He is sucking thumb only while sleeping. Even when I gently remove his thumb, he puts it right back in immediately. I’m feeling a bit confused and stuck.

A. Femite lotion you should apply because that has a horrible taste so probably your child is going to give up on this habit of thumb sucking and your second issue I do agree that you really trying your level best to teach your child to signal you when the child wants to go to washroom but if your child is not cooperating in the initial time you have to start taking your child to washroom every two hours and that will be very helpful and along with that you keep telling your child that this is how you have to inform me or signal me so I’ll take you to the washroom
