Got any idea? I'm almost out of it. I think I was wrong of teaching Xam to thumbsuck right at the time he needed a pacifier. I tried to introduce this to him though but it didn't seem to work. It would pop out of Xam's mouth no matter how hard I hold it for him to get used to it. It might be an effect of involuntary reflexes but shouldn't be as sucking itself is the reflex.
I know that the habit is but common and gives a calming effect to babies but in a long run, I guess it's creating a problem out of its job of soothing. I'm alarmed that my son's teeth are not lining up and growing wide apart from each other. If worst comes, it may affect the whole mouth roof.
Xam's godfather who's a dentist is suggesting that I should put on gloves made of cloth on Xam's hand but I can't find any from the stores or pharmacies. And besides, when I tried to cover his thumb with a gauge, he got so irritated and tried hard to remove it. More so, the crying never stopped and it hurts me so I decided to take it off. Meanwhile, most of my relatives are having weird thoughts and gave me an option I can't even try - putting chili on Xam's finger (that's even more painful, for him and for me). I kid for a response that vinegar is more subtle. Of course I won't do it, it's an acid. Drops to drops could accumulate and it would add up to the crime.
If someone has a good suggestion, would you help me solve my problem?
