No more thumb sucking and blanket
August 1st, 2018
It’s been so long now, perhaps more than a year, that we don’t even remember when was the last time Carson sucked his thumb.
He gradually stopped sucking his thumb while he was awake, limiting it to times he was asleep. In fact, we often removed his thumb from his mouth at night, and he would still be making a sucking motion with his mouth while it was waiting for his thumb.
At the same time, we reduced Carson’s reliance on his blankets. He had about 5-6 of these thin baby blankets that he liked to hold, especially while sleeping–he was like Linus from Peanuts. It got to the point that he basically forgot about the blankets.
