Thumb/Pacifier sucking, which is worse
My six month old son uses a pacifier right now. I have been trying to ween him off of it before he starts teething. When I do take the pacifier away he will start to thumb suck. I am now sure which is worse. Having him thumb suck or giving him the pacifier.
At least with the pacifier I feel I still can take it away from him but you can not do that if he thumb suck. I do not want him to have a thumb sucking habit when he is older. I don’t want to encourage either, but at loss as to which is worse and how I can ween from the pacifier and have him not go right to his thumb.
