From Baby to Toddler
Suddenly biting their nails
Abi
Hi,
My 10-month-old son has suddenly started sucking on his fingers and alternates this with thumb-sucking. He does it all day long.
Up until 6 months, he had a pacifier, which he refused at one point.
Does anyone have tips to stop him from sucking on his fingers/thumbs? I’d hate for him to get used to it, since it’s hard to break the habit.
Best, Abi

There's a nail polish for sale that gives you a bad taste in your mouth, you can try that! I don't know the name right now, but if you explain to the drugstore or pharmacy (or Google) what it's for, they'll get it. -

Kruidvat sells those too, they're good. My sister did that too. Byte-x
