Some babies suck their thumb in the womb, and then for some time afterward. Some continue to suck their thumb up to five or more years old. What was/is, lol, your experience with that, or someone that you know or have known?

I don't remember doing that, but I can't remember much before I turned 5.

My daughter sucks her thumb. She is two years old. My wife also sucks her thumb, she is 28.

I'm 15 and still suck my thumb on occasion. I try not to do it, but I just do it subconsciously. I've been doing it since I was in my mother's stomach.

I dont ever remember sucking my thumb. But my mother didnt allow that, nor did she allow pacifiers. She hates those things- especially when she sees a 3 year old with one.

This, Kitt, is one of the many reasons why you rule.

I never sucked my thumb as a child.

My nephew sucked his til he was almost 10, and my brother's soon to be stepson sucks his sometimes, and he's 7

Hmm...I know my mom wouldn't let me suck on a pacifier, so she probably restricted thumb sucking too.

I think it's ridiculous when kids who have teeth suck on a pacifier.

I do not recall much suckage when I was younger.

I sucked my thumb until I was about 5 or 6. Finally my parents had me go to a dentist and he attached metal spikes towards the back of my mouth so that every time I put my thumb in my mouth the spikes would poke my thumb. It worked amd worked fast.
