Just that really! DD (15 weeks) has suddenly became very sucky and discovered her thumb. A friend was visiting at the weekend and was horrified that I was letting her do so and went on to describe horror stories of her own DCs teeth being damaged by thumb sucking and how at least with a dummy you control when they have it.
This had never occurred to me I was just pleased she was soothing herself but I do see her point.. Any thoughts or experiences welcomed, thanks.

If your baby started to suck their thumb, would you replace it with a dummy?
