My soon-to-be 4 month old twin boys are BIG suckers. They want to suck their dummies A LOT. Problem is, they also want to suck their fingers/thumbs A LOT, so pull out their dummies to do this but then can't get the satisfaction as they can't find individual digits to suck on so can only suck their whole fist. This leaves me pulling out fists and reinserting dummies practically 24 hours a day! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!
If this experience was with a singleton I would DEFINITELY go cold-turkey on the dummy and leave him to find his thumb. However, I just can't face doing this with two. I'm certain that there would be significant crying day and night, with each setting the other off and my 2 year old dd too. What can I do to get out of this dummy hell?! How can I get them to suck their own thumbs?! They are so desperate to do it, but won't let me help put just a single digit in....
Please help, I am going insane
