Hi DDT-I wish I had some advice but I don't, really. Is your son sucking his thumb during the day when he is awake? I guess I would say distraction is your best bet then. Forcing him to give it up or using the stuff on the nails just seems cruel to me, but I am a softie and that is just my opinion. My son is a thumbsucker too, but just at night as he is falling asleep, so probably that is 10 minutes a day max, not a big deal in his case. I figure he will give it up when he decides he is ready to. Good luck!
