Nick (2) doesn't suck his thumb but sucks 2 fingers when he goes to sleep. I don't plan to do anything about it until he's 4 or so if he hasn't stopped by himself then. Fortunately Sophie never sucked her fingers/thumb. Nick tends to only do it when he's tired to go to sleep and sometimes its useful as we know he is tired so we know why he's grumpy. I think when he's 4 I'll just try talking to him first with the big boys don't suck their fingers - look Papa doesn't suck his fingers. That approach worked with Sophie for something else. I hope I can get him to stop it before he goes to school at 5 but at the moment it doesn't bother me - he looks cute going to sleep with his fingers in his mouth cuddling his Peter Rabbit toy.
