But she is more conscious now and she really makes the effort to stop. :( I think it would have helped her rid of the habit if the distraction we offered was something other than a pillow. A stuff toy or blanket perhaps?pyxxie0703https://www.blogger.com/profile/05124955144877842698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659635269923995082.post-84333403293278729862014-11-03T22:21:12.486-08:002014-11-03T22:21:12.486-08:00Hi!

Not very concerned at the moment pero my parents have been reminding me that I should start getting the "pacifier" out of Nathan's system. Tapos dun sa June 2011 issue ng Smart Parenting may topic rin about habits of our children. Ganun nga raw, hindi dapat drastic. Parang allow the child to naturally get rid of it. Anyway, thanks for sharing mommy thoughts and experiences :)Jeng Aquinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378348904484863476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659635269923995082.post-26696091964945093192011-07-12T18:49:48.624-07:002011-07-12T18:49:48.624-07:00Thanks Maqui!

Maia is trying naman pero yun lang siguro talaga since for the last 32 months it's always been a source of comfort mahirap talaga to let go :( But I will really stop nagging na.

I noticed na parang kumapal yun upper lip niya and meron nang kalyo yun thumb. I noticed din na she would resort to nail biting naman whenever we try to push her to stop the habit. Kaya we just stopped asking her to stop and let her be. I think it was a source of security pero hindi naman ibig sabihin insecure. kapal kaya ng face ng mga pamangkin ko. anyhoo, she stopped when her pedia told her na baka kaya siya nagka LBM is nasubo niya yun thumb niya na may germs. ngayon, ok na yun kalyo free na yun thumb and di na mukhang makapal yun lip niya. Ok rin naman yun teeth niya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
