Bailey & thumb sucking....

So this is our newest challenge! Since Bailey was 6 weeks old she has sucked her thumb, at first it was great!! She could sooth herself and sleeping was wonderful, no pacifiers to search for or clean and what not.....but now its a major problem! She is 3 and it's really starting to take a toll on her teeth and hair....when children suck their thumbs they often use the other hand to comfort themselves as well. In Baileys case she either rubs her ear or twirls her hair, now I know that dose not sound horrible but when you brush long beautiful curls and hit KNOT after KNOT its sad and frustrating at that same time. I have ripped so much of her hair out because she has it so snarled it's beyond saving!!! it truly makes me sad.... :(

We have tried to make this a "BIG GIRL" change but she could careless about the word "BIG GIRL"....she just dose not want to stop....so we have reached a point where we need intervention and here it is!!!!

All the customer reviews where great so I ordered it and it arrived today! I explained to sweet Bailey that she needed special help to stop sucking her thumb, so she was brave and let me apply the "yucky stuff"! So far she was managed to brush her hand across her mouth and BAM it hit her taste buds, she was gagging, coughing, spitting and anything else she could manage...she then knew it's gross and I want to keep my thumb far away from my mouth! She is now in bed and I hope I don't wake up at 2 am hearing her barfing because it's so gross.....wish me luck! I really hope this will help Bailey with her cute but not so cute thumb sucking!!! I will keep you posted!
