I have high hopes that something so simple can help make little Colin feel better. My mom came and rescued me last night for a little bit. Colin was cranky as usual. We were just sitting on the couch and talking while mom calmly rocked and rubbed Colin's back. He suddenly stopped crying, and in its place I heard wet and loud sucking:
He had found his thumb. He always has had his hands up by his mouth (even in ultrasounds) and I am hoping that he has just been frustrated that he couldn't get that darn thumb where he wanted it! He has only gotten it in there twice, but I hope as his coordination gets better, he finds his thumb more easily.
I honestly hate the habit of thumb sucking, and if he takes it up, I will attach a travel sized hand sanitizer to his belt, but I welcome anything comforting for him at this point.
We also started using some probiotic drops yesterday, so hopefully some good bacteria in his gut will make digesting his meals a little easier.
I never wanted a thumb sucker, but once Will found his my life became much easier :) Plus, they just look so cute!
ReplyDeletei was a thumb sucker and i turned out alright!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely don't stress over having a thumb-sucker. Sometimes I would have actually preferred that over the passy!! B/c Nate would throw those out of his bed 500 times each night.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will help your little man! Can't wait to come see you guys Sunday. I'll text you this weekend about bringing dinner.
Yep - thumb sounds way better than having to stick that stinkin passy back in over and over! Hope it's helpful!
