But she really just rested her thumb in her mouth...rather than actually sucking it. She had some shaping on her palate...but not too much. And when she sleeps, she still sucks her thumb.<BR/><BR/>I am very curious to hear about how she deals with the "thing" in her mouth...and whether it works or not.Keys to the Magic Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634829064005032831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-71782102509792031162008-12-12T14:16:00.000-06:002008-12-12T14:16:00.000-06:00Oh, I cannot wait to hear how this turns out!

Your description "While we love her little snaggle, half-chipped front tooth, extremely buck teethed smile, we'd prefer to NOT have her teeth resemble the Donkey's in the movie Shrek" exactly and completely describes my almost 2 year old daughter!!! I know it's not funny, as I feel your pain and I'm afraid to say will be feeling it for years to come. I hope everything works out for Sheridan and YOU. You've inspired me to try to make my daughter stop sucking her thumb right.this.minute. Please keep us posted as I hope January 13th comes quickly for you and isn't as bad as you think it will be. <BR/><BR/>Much love from NJ,<BR/>Suz3 Peas in a Podhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836773658497641385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-74898215981618895022008-12-10T15:00:00.000-06:002008-12-10T15:00:00.000-06:00This scares me..

Poor baby, I feel sorry for her.<BR/><BR/>Julianna had her pacifier until she was 4 and the 'pacy-fairy' made a trade--all her pacifiers for a doll. I think she still regrets the exchange. So do I in some ways, it was counter-acting her serious under-bite. Good luck with it. I have a friend whose daughter started back up every time the thumb crib was removed. As you know, dental work isn't so 'reasonable' here! <BR/><BR/>Too bad you can't unwind with a glass of wine for that week or so she's transitioning!Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.com
