    Thanks. So I need to be pulling his thumb out? :( He really loves it :(:(:(
    It's your call, you might not be able to stop him anyway.
    I'm not an expert by any means though so don't take what I say as gospel :)

    Hi all, just popping in from the pregnancy thread and after a bit of advice re bouncers and swings for newborn+
    ...
    I just wondered if any of you would mind sharing your experiences with bouncers vs swings. I have vouchers for both amazon and argos which are burning a hole in my pocket and I want to get one bought :)
    We just had a plain bouncy chair without any toys on. I used to put Alice so she could watch whatever I was doing and give her a toy.

    In that case, yes make your own. And tell your OH all about how much money you've saved to soften the blow of the pushchair.
    Does anyone have a lo who sucks their thumb? David sucks his and refuses a dummy but someone told me that orthodontically it is bad for them to suck their thumb?
    Yes, Alice started sucking her thumb around two months and by three months never wanted a dummy because if she wanted to suck something she would already be sucking her thumb. I think by the time she was somewhere around 18 months I only every really noticed her sucking her thumb when she had nothing better to do (like on car journeys) and I don't think I've ever noticed her do it since she was two. The way I understand it, it's only if they keep doing it up to an older age that it causes problems.

    Conversation with Alice at dinner time:
    A: What's that? [points to chicken bone left on my plate]
    Me: It's a bone.
    A: Mummy, do you want your bone.
    Me: No thank you, it's not for eating.
    A: Do you don't want your bone?
    Me: That's right, I don't want the bone.
    A: Do dogs have bones?
    Me: Yes, dogs have bones.
    A: [pointing] That's for dogs.
    There then ensued a conversation about how chicken bones aren't suitable for dogs but I don't think she was convinced.

    Thanks Susan, he is only 13 weeks old so it seems he can carry on for quite a while without me interfering. :T
