Four out of my five have sucked their thumbs and two have stopped around age 3. I have always connected thumb sucking with a favorite blanket so that when they grow out of needing their blankie, they have stopped sucking their thumbs. This has also helped to make it a bedtime only habit since they don't carry their blankies around with them. I'll let you know if it works with the other two!
If you have any other ideas, please comment on this post.
Good Luck!!
