I think I found something that may help - search on Amazon for MALAVA Stop Thumb Sucking - it's like a nail polish that stays on the nails. Haven't tried it yet, but with 278+ positive comments...

My daughter just turned 6 and though we started really talking with her last year, before her school (big girls don't suck thumbs, big girls wipe their own bums etc) she manages, stil, to suck her thumb while falling asleep.

She just got her firt permanent tooth and good thing I was told about this nail polish that helps.

To all moms of thumb-sucking toddlers there - it is a hard habit to break off, because the thumb is always there. If I had another child, I'd give him a binky, no matter how much I was against binkies to start with. I ended up with 2 thumb-sucking children. (My son is 4). Anyway, will try this nail polish on them.
