A. I too struggle with this problem a lot. no matter how good we feed our kid in night , he will usually wake up in night and start sucking thumb. we have now realized it has become in his habit and related to hunger anymore. Helplessly we have decided to be little strict , so after he sleeps we tie a handkerchief on his ✋(not too tight). sometimes he even remove that himself , but sometimes he is in deep sleep and don't do that much effort , slowly he is learning that we are tying that handkerchief to avoid his thumsucking...it can sound harsh but as parents you have to take some hard calls sometimes !
