How we reduced our child’s thumb sucking habit

So once I started to sleep next to my child, I was fully aware of when and how often my child sucked her thumb. I realized that because my child was a very light sleeper, every slightest sound would wake her up, and she would suck her thumb to go back to sleep.

Why my child sucked her thumb

Before my child turned one, her thumb was in her mouth all the time. Every photo that we took had her thumb in her mouth. She wouldn’t even remove her thumb just for that few minutes when we wanted to take a photo.
