I've got something against thumbsucking so our babes wanted a pacifier so we let them have one. Or two. Love the clips they have for pacifiers now, its almost a kiddie fashion statement.

The old fashioned "bulb" type soothers caused problems with teeth but the newer orthodontic shaped soothers don't cause the same problems... Thumbsucking on the other hand can cause havoc with both structure and teeth. Our daughter had (and still has) so much suction when sucking that she pushed the roof of her mouth up into her sinus cavities.She also ******** the growth of her lower jaw by pushing back on it. When she sucks her thumb in her sleep you can literally pick her up off the bed trying to pull it out of her mouth...
