Like Brother Like Sister
Justin’s been sucking his thumb to sleep since he’s 3 months old. I couldn’t do much about it as I was away for days that time, and he wasn’t nursed to sleep. So, he sucked to sleep to fulfil his suckling needs as I didn’t let him use a pacifier. This is one die-hard habit for him, and he still doesn’t feel like stopping it.
But for Isabelle, I was not away from her at all. However, she’s developed this sucking her fist to sleep since last week. She sucks so hard and there’s this “chop chop” sound whenever she sucks. Now she refuses to be nursed to sleep as she knows she’ll vomit if she’s overfed, and will rather has her fist wet!
Anyway, during my ultra-scan for both pregnancies, we saw the images for both babies sucking their thumbs / hands in my womb separately. It’s really fancinating to know that they actually started this habit before they’re out!
Justin is so happy to see his little sister joining in his gang. Now, no one can tell him to quit by saying “baby doens’t suck, so you don’t suck lah…etc”
Now, he enjoys sucking his thumb beside Isabelle and falls asleep together.

Cufflinks can be worn without a jacket and tie but remember not to wear it with casual trousers. You should be aiming to look dressy with Cufflinks so team with a quality, well-cut shirt.,

Kevin doesn’t just suck the thumb, he sucks the whole fist! It’s amazing to see him put the whole thing into his mouth …

Daddy Nick, Kevin’s mouth looks small leh, can put the whole fist in? *O*
Jesslyn, my paed said it’s normal for them to suck, but harder to wean off comparing to pacifier. So, what to do? Can’t “remove” the thumb what, have to bear with it loh…

Zara’s mama, not only bleeding, he has a few episodes of having puss in the wound!!! Paed said can’t do anything about it, but if the parent is desperate, can try chilies! Ha! Anyway, he said it’s normal for kids below 2 to suck their thumbs for comfort, and it’s really hard to wean off…
Immomsdaughter, now they’re doing it together every night, it looks cute huh? But I wonder when Justin will quit by himself?
Khongfamily, if you can hear the chop chop sound, it’s even cuter!
