Last week during the Chinese New Year, Gem suddenly remember her lost pacifier at the mall in Genting last year. We took this opportunity to tell her yes no more pacifier at home liao, it all lost. So we kept away, in fact threw away her last pacifier (anyway it is broken too)
So each time she asked, we remind her that it was lost in Genting and she really accepted haaaa
BUT we got a huge problem of weaning her off her THUMB... cos as she lost her pacifier, she will sucked her left thumb. We thot of a method that is natural and not as hot as chilli -----> garlic
The first time we put she actually sucked and cried loudly. Then look pitifully at her forbidden thumb hehe
the next few times we put she didn't dare to suck and cried hysterically.
At few nites, we put plaster on her thumb to prevent her from sucking during sleeping. It should work cos many times I woke up, I didn't see her sucking her thumb.
Then last Sunday she was taking her normal nap and the maid tried to shift her properly onto mattress. Upon doing that, her instinct action was to put her thumb into mouth. But nearing the mouth, she brushed her thumb away and didn't suck! I think soon she will stop sucking altogether. Will monitor and hope she stays this way :)
