Weaning Off Thumb Sucking
Dearest Little Skyler,
Your left thumb has been badly injured because of your constant sucking and biting on it. We had to put ointment, a plaster and a mitten on your left hand to try to get you to stop it so that your thumb would have a chance to heal. We even scotch-taped the mitten to prevent your removing the mitten as you had previously sucked your thumb until the plaster ended up in your mouth. Even when we put a mitten on then, you would remove it so that you could suck your thumb.
It was totally painful to watch how you reacted to our denying you this comfort, Little One. You kept on trying to pull the mitten off and you simply couldn’t sleep as you didn’t have your thumb to suck on to comfort yourself.
But, we have to do this, Sweetheart. Your thumb must heal. It really looks very badly hurt right now. We hope you understand.
We love you!
Mama and Papa
