Did your children have dummies Art?
Yes, they all had dummies, none of them sucked their thumb. Three of them, had a ‘blankie’ which was their shawl that my mother knitted for them.
Two of them, twiddled their hair whilst they patted the ‘blankie’ against their face!

Re: Suckers ...
Don't tell any one about this or the bigger boys will make fun of me.When I was a toddler I used to have a small piece of soft fur material. Not very big but I would tickle just under my nose or around my ears to get to sleep. It was called my wow wow. Wouldn't go to bed without it
I think it was a dog substitute now that I think about it.

Re: Suckers ...
Both my children sucked their thumbs, They had comforters too, sons was a very tatty rabbit, hard to get it off him to wash it, but daughter had a blanket & luckily I had 3 the same so those were easy to remove, substitute & wash.I hated dummy's & wouldn't give them one. Son was the last to stop thumb sucking, at 14, but daughter stopped when she went to school. I hate seeing 3/4 even 5 year olds still with a dummy in their mouths.

The girl next door sucked her thumb and she had sticky out teeth because of it.

Re: Suckers ...
My brother used to bite his fingernails, I used to cuddle a soft plush tiger (still have him!), my sister used to suck her thumb and cuddle a pair of mother's silk knickers - she had snatched them from the clothes horse at some point and refused to part with them.

and my comfort thing was making a little part of the pillowcase into a twist shape then I'd put it in my ear when I lay down. Failing that, I used to do the same with my hair, twist it and put it in my ear and lie down on it. So come on, I've fessed up, now it's your turn
Who can surpass this!!
I had to re-read it a few times ..... LMAO!!!!
