thumb sucker?

Matt found Bella in her cradle this morning with her thumb in her mouth! She took it out a couple of times and put it back in. It seems to work! We'll see if she continues to "find" it.
...And yes, I have thought of the implications later in life if she becomes a thumb sucker - potential speech distortions (which I can fix) and expensive orthodontic work (which may be needed regardless) but I think it's worth it if she can soothe herself. I was a thumb sucker and I turned out okay :)

Fellow thumb suckers unite! I sucked my thumb until 3rd grade. No braces and speech is in tact.
As you said:
Speech pathology $0
Braces $2,000.00
Baby who self soothes PRICELESS!
